To evaluate the effect of new pre-emergent herbicides Luximax (active ingredient, cinmethylin) and Overwatch (active ingredient, bixlozone) alone or in mixtures with existing preemergent herbicides on annual ryegrass control.
• Luximax and Overwatch improved annual ryegrass control (10-26 plants/m2) compared to existing pre-emergent herbicides (45 -158 plants/m2).
• Annual ryegrass (heads/m2) were reduced when Luximax and Overwatch were applied standalone or in mixtures.
• Post-seeding conditions at Hart were dry with well below average rainfall, favouring the more soluble pre-emergent products, Luximax and Overwatch.
• No yield penalties were observed for Scepter wheat across all pre-emergent herbicides at Hart in 2020.
