Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SAGIT Podcast #22 - Developing Australian oat spoonable snacks - Guisella Yarasca
Q: Guisella, what was the main objective here and what does a fermented, spoonable product look like as opposed to yogurt?
The objective was to create a fermented, spoonable oat product that delivers acidity akin to yogurt without mimicking its texture or labeling it as yogurt, using clean-label ingredients and minimal additives for a product that can be enjoyed on the go.
SAGIT Podcast #23 - Profitable vetch - Melissa McCallum & Stuart Nagel
Q: What was the outcome of the gibberellic acid trials?
Gibberellic acid consistently offered little to no biomass benefit and often caused the crop to yellow, making it uneconomical to use.
SAGIT Podcast #23 - Profitable vetch - Melissa McCallum & Stuart Nagel
Q: What were the main aims of the vetch project?
To accelerate breeding through rapid generation turnover and to consolidate agronomy information for vetch in Australia, especially improving hay production and fitting vetch into farming systems.
SAGIT Podcast #25 – Critical soil and plant values for aluminium and manganese – Brian Hughes
Q: What are the practical outcomes for growers?
Growers will be able to reference fact sheets and a technical report detailing critical levels for crops like lentils and wheat, and use plant testing as a manageable monitoring tool alongside soil testing.
SAGIT Podcast #25 – Critical soil and plant values for aluminium and manganese – Brian Hughes
Q: How are the trials and sampling conducted?
Trials use lime and sulfur treatments to create a pH range across multiple sites, with detailed soil and plant sampling to correlate aluminium/manganese levels with yield responses.
