CropCast Episode 9 - October 2019

Bayer Crop Science Australia

Tim Murphy, Richard Jackman and Craig White from the Technical Market Development Agronomy Team discuss Cereal Leaf Diseases like Septoria, Powdery Mildew and more. The team discusses Loose Smut control with EverGol Energy seed treatment compared to other strategies and note the positive impact that EverGol Energy is providing in suppressing Rhizoctonia in cereal crops. The GM canola moratorium in South Australia is under review which may allow growers there to utilise this important crop protection tool in the future. Hugh Trenorden and Craig White walk through a canola herbicide systems trial at Katanning, WA, explaining what is being seen in terms of weed control and crop tolerance. These trials examine the important role of Triazine Tolerant, Roundup Ready, TruFlex (with Roundup Ready) and stacked trait canola systems (XC). The team talk about the importance of each system, including the benefit of TruFlex Canola with the increased flexibility and benefits it provides in managing weeds as part of an Integrated Weed Management system.
