Spore Count Update 28.03.24
Despite some cool nights, spore counts have remained high at several sites and we have even seen increased levels at other sites that we monitor. It would be dangerous to assume any eczema threat has passed.

Spore Count Update 20.03.24
As our results indicate, there are some high and dangerous spore counts at our monitor sites. What is being highlighted is the variation in spore count levels. This is associated with the marked differences in rainfall across our district, and feed quality and dead matter levels in pasture.
This season very much looks like a year when each farm needs to be considered in its own right. There is plenty of time from the middle of March for spore counts to increase to dangerous levels, even given the recent cool mornings!!

Spore Count Update 29.02.2024
There appears to be some sites where counts have increased significantly in the last week to 10 days, while others have not seen the same movement.
Properties where FE is a risk should remain vigilant. Any significant moisture and warm temperatures could see rapid increases in spore numbers.

As expected, after the weekends rain spores in significant numbers have been detected at several sites. A small number of these sites have concerningly high counts. The majority are still safe but given the heat and humidity we have had along with the rain predicted this weekend, spore counts could rapidly escalate.
Currently things point to the situation becoming serious and it would make sense for eczema affected properties to have plans in place.
