Fighting the war against weeds: wild radish control in wheat (trial 1 wild radish resistant paddock survey) locations
Aims

To raise awareness about the increasing occurrence of herbicide resistant wild radish populations in the Wimmera and Mallee and to determine the best management practices for farmers to combat it and reduce its spread.

Key messages
  • 2013 was a year of multiple germinations of radish and products with good residual were required.
  • Velocity + MCPA, Precept + Lexone and Flight are currently the best performing products on the market to control radish in situations of multiple germination.
  • Wild Radish with Group B and I resistance was found in 50% of surveyed paddocks.
