By now most maize crops will be in the ground, with perhaps a few left to plant. When well manage these crops can be a great source of high yielding feed (or grain). Pre-Emergence options such as Roustabout 840<\/strong><\/a>, Primiera<\/strong><\/a> and Nutrazine 900DF<\/strong><\/a> make a significant contribution to crop yields when compare to post-emerge weed spraying (see page 6 of our Maize booklet<\/em>).<\/p>\n

In addition to moisture at sowing, seedbed preparation can have a big impact on pre-em control. We\u2019ve also seen a big increase in demand for Primiera<\/strong><\/a> as growers with a longer history of maize look for something to deliver a strong result (compared to atrazine products) and also help with resistance management.<\/p>\n

With an increase in strip or minimum tillage techniques in recent years, Jason has seen an increase in use of SlugOut<\/strong><\/a> to protect these paddocks from slug damage.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Whilst \u2018fresh ground\u2019 that\u2019s come out of long-term pasture doesn\u2019t always need a post-emergence spray as often as long-term sites do, its important to walk these during establishment to inspect for pests and weeds.<\/p>\n

Scouting crops during early establishment to monitor for cutworm helps maintain higher plant populations, cutworm is well controlled with Kaiso 50WG<\/strong><\/a>. A few weeks later it\u2019s a good idea to inspect for a range of weeds Joe says. Latro WG<\/strong><\/a> is a great option for a range of grass weeds and several broadleaf weeds, whilst Primiera<\/strong><\/a> is a good option for broadleaf weeds and a few annual grasses. Other options such as Emblem Flo<\/strong><\/a>, Kamba 750<\/strong><\/a>, Archer 750<\/strong><\/a>, Sempra<\/strong><\/a>, and Kamba 750<\/strong><\/a> can be helpful in a range of specialist situations and to support weed resistance programmes.<\/p>\n\"\"\n
