Managing clethodim resistant ryegrass in canola with crop competition and pre-emergent herbicides locations
Aims

To demonstrate that crop competition afforded by a hybrid canola in combination with pre-emergent herbicides can reduce ryegrass seed set.

Key messages
  • Two seasons of trials have demonstrated there are differences in crop vigour / biomass production within open pollinated varieties ATR Stingray (less competitive) and ATR Bonito (more competitive) relative to a competitive hybrid variety Hyola559TT.
  • In 2017, at Hart and Roseworthy both OP and hybrid varieties provided similar crop competition for ryegrass control.
  • A combination of effective pre-emergent herbicides with competitive canola varieties combines two tactics to reduce ryegrass seed set.
