To evaluate if direct heading canola lowers the snail population captured in the harvester.
There were no snails found in grain samples at three of the four locations were samples were taken. As such, it is possible that spatial variability and snail density may have a greater impact on snails numbers in grain samples than harvesting method. Site variability is a key issue and more information around how sites can vary is demonstrated in the work by SARDI at Lake Hawdon in the GRDC Stubble Initiative pest management guideline.
