Control of annual ryegrass with pre-emergence herbicides locations
Aims

To evaluate the efficacy and crop safety of alternate pre-emergent herbicides & their mixtures for the control of ryegrass in wheat.

Key messages
  • All pre-emergent herbicides provided excellent early control of ryegrass (≥86%) & good crop safety under the knife-point press wheel system.
  • Combination of trifluralin & Avadex Xtra followed by PSPE Boxer Gold provided greatest residual control, controlling more than 98% of ryegrass 12 weeks after sowing.
  • Boxer Gold applied PSPE has been shown to provide some additional in-row controlof ryegrass.
