National Spore Count Summary
| National Summary for the Week Ending 17/02/2012 |
|---|
High humidity & night temperatures with warm rain have caused counts to dramatically rise in many areas this week. Dead grass, especially on topped paddocks or those recently cut for hay, will start to rot over the next week and fungi will have plenty of nutrients to feed on and start producing toxic spores. Spores will continue to escalate with this weather pattern with the FE danger increasing. Stepping up precautions is recommended.
