To raise the awareness of the carry-over or residual effect in alkaline soils of some herbicides on the following crop and show the visual phyto-toxic effects of these herbicides.
Key messages
Care has to be taken with many residual herbicides to avoid potential damage to the following crop.
On alkaline soils the residual effects of Glean and Ally used for summer fallowing will be severe on pulses and conventional and TT canola.
Atrazine used for summer fallowing in dry seasons slows the growth of conventionalcanola and wheat.
Diuron used as an over summer herbicide in this demonstration had a negative effect on conventionaland TT canola
