What role Group G herbicides are playing in farming systems




WeedSmart Podcast show

Summary: Today on the podcast we’re focusing on the use of pre-emergent herbicides and knockdowns, with a special focus on group Gs. Associate Professor Dr Chris Preston from the University of Adelaide joins us to talk about how Group G herbicides fit into farming systems and what role they are playing as an increasingly popular tool to control weeds. We’ll also be catching up with Delta Ag Director and Farm Consultant, Tim Condon. Tim provides an overview of where the season is at, with a focus on the Southern region, including knockdowns and pre-emergent herbicides. We’ll also touch on controlling weeds along fencelines.
