Webinar: The Knockdown Reset
As our Australian regulatory environment changes, so too will our management to adapt chemistry within mix and rotate strategies to keep weed control diverse on-farm.
This is all about stewarding the existing and emerging tools we have in our herbicide toolbox.
Mitigating the onset of herbicide resistance on your farm is important to keep weed populations low and year-in year-out control within budget.
Fallow and knockdown strategies are important parts of our soil and water conservation cropping enterprises.
Finding effective ‘mix and rotate’ tactics during fallow and knockdown applications are critical for effective soil moisture retention and competition-free seeding.
Join Mark Congreve (ICAN Rural) and Greg Condon (WeedSmart) for the Knockdown Reset webinar.
26th of November, 10am AWST.
