Considerations for pre-emergent herbicides with dry sowing

In this webinar, we focus on what factors influence the residual control of weeds by pre-emergent herbicides with a focus on Trifluralin, Sakura and new-to-market herbicides.

Chris Davey, YPAG and WeedSmart Extension Agronomist and Mark Congreve, ICAN Senior Agronomist, assessed the sowing issues in South Australia and discussed strategies on using pre-emergents.

Factors covered include:

• Soil type/texture
• Rainfall forecast (after application)
• Characteristics of the herbicide
• Characteristics of the crop
• Sowing time (tine vs disc) – sowing depth, speed, soil throw, stubble
• Resistance status
