Optimising glyphosate in summer spraying

Mark Congreve from ICAN presenting an hour and a half webinar on 'Optimising glyphosate for summer applications'.

This webinar will go into the factors influencing glyphosate performance; what can we do maximise performance; and what ‘bad habits’ should we try to avoid when making spray decisions.

With the current price and supply challenges with glyphosate, coupled with recent widespread rainfall across the EP, the coming weeks will be challenging to optimise summer weed control.

Preserving soil moisture by ensuring effective weed control will be the objective, but keeping costs under control and managing the logistics of summer spraying is also a priority.

Typically we can manage a single summer weed flush by ensuring we select a very robust glyphosate rate to overcome issues associated with large weeds, water quality, dusty conditions and climatic conditions unfavourable for glyphosate.

We also use this robust rate to overcome low level antagonism with some of the mixing partners we like to use.

However this is the year where growers may want to squeeze every last bit of performance out of their glyphosate, so this webinar will go into the factors influencing glyphosate performance; what can we do maximise performance; and what ‘bad habits’ should we try to avoid when making spray decisions.

This webinar is part of the GRDC investment “Herbicide Behaviour Workshops for the Australian Grains Industry.”
