What does wbm stand for on facebook




















Firstly, the Adelaide Hills wine community has been hit hard by the Cudlee Creek bushfire. If you would like to do your little bit to help, please buy a bottle of Hills wine to have with your Christmas lunch. About 20 wineries are affected by the bushfire. The burnt area contains one-third of all Adelaide Hills vineyards. Channel 7 helicopter footage of the region shows the extent of the devastation. Dozens of homes and buildings have been lost.

It was 42 degrees at 10am. And the fire was coming our way. Wine writer Philip White knows the area well. We picked up a friend from Woodside which was in the direct path of the fire.

The smoke blocked out the sun and the countryside was bathed in an eerie golden glow. Onkaparinga Valley Road, the main way thoroughfare in the Hills, began to fill up with a steady stream of cars, many of them towing horse floats, heading for safety. The flames raced towards Lobethal — and Golding Wines. I received text messages from several people in the wine industry saying that Golding had lost its cellar door.

The ABC ran with it. It turned out to be untrue. They lost some prized vineyards but Darren Golding stayed behind to defend the property with the CFS. They saved it. The fire travelled quickly to Woodside where it claimed more vineyards including Tomich. CFS map showing the burnt area in the Adelaide Hills. A southerly change at 5pm saw the fire broaden to the east, again threatening the towns of Woodside and Lobethal as well as Mount Torrens and Gumeracha.

Results are averaged across application timing and compared to a control that received no WBM.

Bars with the same letter indicate no significant difference between salt application rates. Visual observation of the plots during the following growing seasons as well as aerial imagery showed that all plots recovered and did not result in any bare spots, as was observed in the annual wheat crop that was sowed in the following seasons.

There are two main ways salt from WBM can reduce yields: direct impact by damaging tissue when the salt water is sprayed onto the plant, and indirect impact from the applied salt water on soil chemical and physical properties, which then have a negative impact on the plant.

Application of WBM to perennial plants, such as forages, presents less long-term risks, not only because the plants are already established, but because the subsequent growing season is not dependent on new seed germination. The greater risk to annual crops is due to the need to sow a seed every single growing season. While a 6-inch soil sample may indicate a soil is non-saline or non-sodic, such a soil depth is not representative of the growing environment for a seedling.

In other words, while a 6-inch soil sample may indicate no problems, the chemical and physical properties of the first 2 inches of soil might be detrimental to a germinating seed, since this is the environment immediately affecting the seedling. In that case, a 6-inch sample could dilute the high concentrations of salinity and sodium occurring in the 2-inch layer and make it appear as if conditions were fine.

This consideration is especially important in no-till agriculture where the top 2 inches will not be mixed with the 4- to 6-inch soil depth. While an established plant may be quite tolerant to salinity and sodicity, a seed will have problems germinating in the upper 2 inches if the soil is saline.

If the top 2 inches of soil is somewhat sodic, then a physical crust may form, which will physically inhibit emergence of the germinating seed.

Direct damage to plant tissue from applied WBM is immediate and not a long-term problem; in some cases, the plant may recover and produce normal yield for that growing season. Damage to the soil will have much less of an impact on perennial plants compared to annual plants that require sowing every season. Regardless of cropping system, the risk of long-term damage from WBM increases with increasing application rate of total salts per acre. Thus, always provide more land than necessary for receiving WBM to reduce the total salt load per acre.

The OCC currently allows a maximum of 6, pounds total salt per acre to be applied, regardless of crop, climate or soil type. However, a maximum of 4, pounds total salt per acre is recommended to minimize potential damage to crops and soils. In general, there is less risk in applying WBM on perennial plants than annual crops, when a seed must be sown every year.

When WBM is applied to a perennial plant, it is best for the WBM to be applied in winter while the plant is dormant or during a fallow period. While some producers will experience no reductions in yield, always expect a reduction in yield for at least one growing season, which may not occur during the growing season in which the WBM was applied. The time required for recovery from the salt application with WBM will vary depending on soil texture, rainfall, total salt applied per acre and plant species.

The impact and benefits of using cover crops for weed management in Oklahoma. A donation of a dozen Riesling for the Wild Horse Plains quiz night? Two dozen for the Iron Knob pigeon-racing ball? An industry-wide fundraising drive for the guy down on his luck?

We can arrange that. If every person who has benefitted from wineries supported them through this it would make a difference and would mean a lot. The industry is calling for tax breaks. Our beautiful industry — kinda shy and understated in a way — has never really been big on all the whiz-bang digital tools at our disposal.

Brendan is excellent in front of the camera. Without wanting to make light of what is ahead of us all, TWTW is already thinking about how the wine industry rebound and rebuild might look. We asked our lawyer from The Castle for advice on what we should do next.
