WATCH NOW: Missed our Paraquat & Diquat Update Webinar this morning? It's now available to watch on our YouTube channel. It was a very valuable discussion and Q&A session with Grain Producers Australia, GrainGrowers, and GRDC. Watch below: youtu.be/hM0wwAgWWck

Synergistic mixes can give you better control than used on their own – to use them best; 🤔Understand your herbicide resistance – get your testing done 📝Create your crop rotation plan, ✅ Work out your herbicide program – where can you fit synergistic mixes? 🎤 Grassroots Agronomy

📣OPTIMISING SOIL AMELIORATION THU 12th 8-11AM 🚜 🍳Kickstart your day with BBQ Breakfast! Learn to boost productivity with soil amelioration. Speakers, Michael Moodie, Ag. Machinery R&D Centre - AMRDC & Chris Davey, will share valuable insights. RSVP/ info👉 bit.ly/47hRDr2

How much do you know about drone spraying?🤔 Stuart Vlahov can fill you in! Our recent ep featured the Northern WA grower, and focused on his experiences with the two DJI drones, as well as their use outside of spraying bogged crops 🌾 🎧 ➡️ buff.ly/4dW7Swa

Can’t wait to present at this trial at the Birchip Cropping Group (BCG) Main Field Day! So much valuable info to be learnt & nothing better than a herbicide matrix to do so. Adjuvants, Group 14’s, Paraquat vs Glypho, diff crop types. Photo courtesy of Jess, BCG. Yolanda Plowman

Water quality can be the deciding factor for your herbicide efficacy💦 Products such as glyphosate and clethodim can be very sensitive to poor water quality, so make sure you understand what effect it’s having, what additives you need to use 💡 🎥 Grassroots Agronomy

In poorly competitive crops, ryegrass seed production can double 🤯 Craig & Sarah use competitive cultivars, high seeding rates, east-west sowing, narrow row spacing & early sowing – all to maximise early crop vigour & close the canopy 💡 Case Study ➡️ buff.ly/4e15kx4

Another high quality 3PL firebreak boom built by the Sandow family at Barmedman. 1000L tank with agitation & micromatic fittings allows safe handling + option to use diverse mixes. Shroud + AITTJ60 nozzles on 25cm spacings provides excellent coverage yet no drift. WeedSmart

Paige Cross Chris Davey WeedSmart Mallee Sustainable Farming Yep, did an extensive survey along the major road networks and cropping regions in SA and Vic in past few months as part of our GRDC South project. The rise of this perennial weed is a major concern for our no-till systems moving forward.

Huge turn out for Barry Haskins & team AgGrow spring field day. Soils pits, new varieties, paraquat review & best of all risk vs reward on N. A top afternoon looking at some very handy looking crops!! WeedSmart

Glufosinate mixes do work on annual ryegrass resistant to clethodim, glyphosate, paraquat, bixlozone (low level). All options tested post-emergence 12th June 24; 18/10C; ~350mm rain since; Mt Barker WA. First photos here: Untreated vs best treatment - 12 WAT. [thread 👇]

Mixing or batching plants enable quicker refilling and efficient mixing, allowing you to work efficiently within critical spray application timing windows 💦 Logistical investment such as this & water points can lead to better weed control outcomes 💡 🎤 Grassroots Agronomy

Dr Chris Preston & the team at Uni of Adelaide & PIRSA conducted a 3yr trial at 2 sites in SA & WA, to investigate the ‘mix-and-rotate’ for managing annual ryegrass with known resistance to Group 15 & 13 herbicides 💦 Our breakdown article of results➡️ buff.ly/4gqc60O

Benchmark study on patterns of herbicide resistance in wild radish. Four years of study found no resistance to glyphosate, no resistance to Gr. 14 tested or mixtures of 4 different modes of action.
