Wild radish control in Roundup Ready canola locations
Aims

To investigate and demonstrate means to ensure effective control of wild radish in Roundup Ready canola grown on non-wetting sand.

Key messages

Overall control of wild radish:

  • 2-leaf only treatments achieved total control of the treated population, but with some minor subsequent germination after treatment final control was rated 91-92 percent.
  • 6-leaf only treatments failed to control the treated population achieving final control of 80-86 percent.
  • 2-leaf followed by 6-leaf treatments achieved total control of the original treated population and total control of radish that subsequently germinated.
