“I'm talking dry sowing because we've got a whole range of new pre-emergent herbicides, mostly from other groups, so group 13 and so on, and group 15, which have completely different properties to what we had 20 years ago. 

“We've actually now got an opportunity where we can use that set of chemistry to deal with our ryegrass issues and add to that our crop competition from getting our crop in early in the season. So it's just thinking, I think, about the whole system and saying, well, instead of trying to make knockdown herbicides work all the time, what if we replace knockdown herbicides with something that's different?” - Professor Chris Preston 

In the sixth episode of the BCG’s podcast series Planning for Prosperity BCG’s Janine Batters speaks with The University of Adelaide’s Weed Management Professor Chris Preston about the possible implications of the APVMA’s review of paraquat and diquat and alternative weed control options. The conversation also includes Chris’s top herbicide and planning tips to control weeds to maximise moisture capture this summer.
