Annual ryegrass with resistance to the Group D, J and K pre-emergent herbicides will make management in cereals difficult. Indian hedge mustard populations have resistance to Group B, C, F and I herbicides, greatly reducing control options in break crops. Crop competition coupled with pre-emergent herbicides can be an effective management option....

When possible control snails prior to mating and egg-laying. Assess snail numbers when the snails are active. At best, a single bait application will achieve 70% snail control. It’s estimated that a level of 98% snail control is needed to significantly reduce next season’s snail population. If mice are present, bait mice before applying snail bait....

Don’t let stubble compromise the BIG THINGS - weeds, disease, pests and timeliness. Be flexible and pro-actively manage stubble for your seeding system. Harvest high = reduced costs and is quicker. Cereal stubble should be thought of as a source of carbon (C), not nitrogen (N) (<6% crop N needs obtained from straw)....

Time of sowing experiments demonstrated benefits from matching sowing date to variety phenology. Optimal start of flowering time provides a target range for flowering to start within, to minimise frost/heat/water stress and maximise yield for a particular environment. Once the development triggers/phenology for a variety are understood an optimal s...

• Glyphosate formulations vary in performance but differences are often weed species specific. • In-tank adjuvants may both enhance or detract performance of glyphosate formulations. • Targeted use of adjuvants can assist in maintaining high level of weed control alongside other factors....
