This is first main WeedSmart Podcast for 2022! So welcome back and thank you for joining us for our 7th Season of the podcast!

Today we’ll be focusing on how to use the new Adama pre-emergent herbicide, Ultro properly. Bevan Addison from Adama explains the stewardship around this product which is a new product for pulse crops. 

We’ll also be talking about the ongoing supply chain issues when it comes to herbicides and fertilisers. Tony May from Bayer provides an overview for what's happening in this space.

Articles

 We have a new WeedSmart Review for you to check out. It’s all about research out of University of Adelaide, which is one of our in-kind partners.

Researchers conducted a unique, 9-year integrated weed management trial was conducted at Lake Bolac from 2012 to 2020 to investigate the effects of cultural and herbicide control strategies across a rotation on annual ryegrass populations in a high rainfall environment. Check out the article for the results here. 

We also have an article about the Birch family which describes how they bought a new property and had to form a plan around testing which herbicides they could use through resistance testing. Check it out here. 

 Ask an Expert

Our content producer, Cindy Benjamin caught up with Agronomist Greg Sefton to find out if pulse cover crops tackle multi-resistant ryegrass in irrigated systems.  Check it out here. 

We also have a new Ask an Expert on what you can do to control large feather top Rhode’s grass in fallow with Bhagirath Chauhan from our in-kind partner, University of Queensland.  Read it here.
