Risks of pre-emergent herbicide degradation when dry sowing
Description
The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a dry start to Western Australia's 2024 growing season.
It's a prediction that’s seeing many growers kick into gear early with dry seeding. But without the knock down herbicide opportunity, growers are relying heavily on their pre-emergent herbicide choice to remove weeds from the system after the breaking rain.
In this podcast, we hear from consultant Blake O’Meagher and research agronomist Dr Mike Ashworth on their recommendations to growers and the latest pre-emergent herbicide degradation research.
