Dry sowing and pre-emergent herbicides locations
Aims

To evaluate the effectiveness of pre-emergent herbicides and crop safety in dry sowing conditions.

Key messages
  • The dry sowing treatment had lower crop establishment in all treatments compared to sowing into moist soil.
  • No additional herbicide was found in the row after rain for the dry time of sowing.
  • For the moist soil sowing treatment there was a greater concentration of herbicide in the inter-row as indicated by the reduced growth of ryegrass.
