In this episode of Regional Update we’re joined by Rolleston grower, Kurt Mayne. Kurt’s main crop is usually chickpeas, although he also rotates through mungbeans, sorghum and barley.
Kurt’s a big believer in using every tool in the Big 6 toolbox for weed control. In addition to crop rotation, he also aims for zero weed seed set and uses harvest weed seed control.
He’s currently got a self-propelled sprayer, two tow-behind sprayers and chaff decks on his header. This year he also experimented with swathing his mungbeans for the first time. Tune in to find out how it went!
