As per treatments. Application dates: 16 July 2015 - full flower; 18 August 2015 - late flower/early pod; 3 September 2015 - 70% pods turning colour. Sprayed with 2m hand boom, 100L/ha water rate, 015 nozzles, 6kph walking speed (2bar). |
| Other trial notes |
Brown out (%) assessment was conducted 33 DAA (days after application) early timing. Final wild radish control (%) assessment was conducted 14 DAA late timing. Note: High grown out score does not necessarily mean that seed in pods was not viable. |
