Fumitory control locations
Aims

To identify the most effective herbicide brews to control fumitory.

Key messages
  1. Populations of fumitory are now exhibiting resistance to commonly used broadleaf herbicides, including Clearfield®.
  2. Avoid cultivation which promotes the germination of fumitory.
  3. In this trial, Precept®, Velocity® + MCPA LVE and Affinity Force® + MCPA Amine, were most effective in controlling fumitory. On-duty® and other Group B herbicides were amongst the worst performers.
