Notes from the field #3
Frequency Herbicide in action near Goondi. Great efficacy on the wild radish. Bit of bleaching on wild oats - the mix with MCPA is not as strong as brom on oats. HPPD bleaching symptoms on milkies and fleabane. Please note: some weed sizes here off-label.

Notes from the field #2:
LT4530P canola seed in action in Moree. Grower had a great experience in 2022 so decided to go again in 2023. For him, PodGuard greatly reduced pod shattering so volunteers not an issue this year. Liberty Herbicide providing solid in-crop control.

Notes from the field #1:
Luximax and Voraxor Herbicide pre-emergent under wheat in Warialda, NSW. As ARG creeps in NNSW, growers and agros are getting familiar with BASF's pre-em chem. Here, the ryegrass was controlled bar a couple of escapes in plant row as tbe with pre-ems.

@HannahMcArdle11 @GArbon17 @BASF_Agro_Au @greg_bowey Beautiful!!

@BASF_Agro_Au now sells Versys into cereals and canola. It’s tough on aphids and soft on beneficials. It starts working within 15 mins, stopping the aphids from feeding and transferring viruses. For more info see: https://t.co/S4G1QcM1ou

[NSW Agronomy @NSW_AGRONOMY]

Dry & mild conditions in 2023 are loved by aphids=a risk of viruses, espec in canola & early sown pulses.
Tamworth @nswdpi has seen Turnip yellows virus (TuYV, formerly known as BWYV) in canola from Sth NSW & Narrabri.

This is very early -be vigilant about aphids🪲

A busy day at our Tamworth research farm yesterday with @AuNutrien agros over for our Junior Agro Training. A fabulous day in the field problem solving case studies & learning about our R&D program. We look forward to supporting these agros further #BiggestJobOnEarth #futureofag

@Paul_WeedSmart It’s the iced vovos for me

[Georgia Readett @GeorgiaReadett]

Afidopyropen is @BASF_Agro_Au’s Versys insecticide. Now registered in wheat, barley and canola, it gives you an incredible aphicide with low tox to beneficials. Perfect product for your IPM program. Thanks @theGRDC for posting this great comparison.

This is a great YouTuber who does extremely well-researched scientific videos and delivers the info in a fun way. A neat way of looking at the pros and cons of nuclear energy. As an aside, I am all for nuclear energy - wish we had it 15 years ago.

Insist on Intervix!
The only ‘imi” herbicide registered for use on Clearfield wheat, barley and canola crops. Protecting nearly 1 million ha of local Clearfield crop, it’s no wonder Intervix is the most trusted choice for weed control. Find out more 👉 https://t.co/INsr57Hzzk
