| Other trial notes |
A new lentil variety combining clopyralid tolerance with imidazolinone is available and could improve the control of broadleaf weeds lentils. Combining the tolerance trait with new clopyralid usage practices could improve weed control options. The trial will be conducted in a location with known background population of Barrel Medic. **The trial will also link with the product registration work lead by Gordan Cummings. *Sister trial at Ultima |
