To investigate best bet options for controlling medic prior to sowing lentils.
Medic must be controlled prior to sowing lentils because there are no in-crop herbicide options available.
The best pre-sowing options coming out of this trial were:
Roundup Power Max® alone was not very effective, and Roundup Power Max® plus Dicamba® resulted in extensive lentil damage which resulted in low yields.

Herbicide |
Triflur 480 applied at 0.6L/ha prior to sowing in April. Knockdown herbicide treatments were applied on June 10, seven days prior to sowing (Table 1). Lexone® was applied post sowing pre-emergent on June 25. On June 29, 21mm of rain was recorded at the site (4 days post application of Lexone® – which is perfect for this product). (see treatments) |
