Pesticides are among the most misunderstood tools in society today.
Everyone talks about what they are.
Almost no one explains how they’re tested, regulated, and monitored.
Let’s fix that.
A thread on pesticide safety,
and the science behind it: 🧵1/

The other two: Jokic & LeBron.

Just one of the very impressive residual results I’ve see from Alion herbicide for fenceline weed management.

Dry Sowing Winter Wheat up and away after the break last week. Tref with the Knockdown while keeping #mateno to apply EPE to pick up on Rye and Broadleaf weeds. @Bayer4CropsAU

The spectacular journey of Mateno Complete applied post-emergence at 1L/ha to 400 ryegrass samples on 17th May at UWA @AHRI_Team . Ryegrass density was very large (ranging to an equivalent of 5,000 - 12,000 seedlings per sqm).

Spectacular results of Mateno Complete 1L/ha POST emergence on 1.5 leaf ryegrass. 4WAT. About 400 samples tested (20-40 seedlings treated so massive equivalent density per sqm!). Watered daily, glasshouse, summer photo period. This is an option offered in winter 2023 testing.

Voraxor 200ml + 750ml Mateno Complete: 100% control.
400 ARG samples, 40,000 seeds treated and not a single survivor. Herbicide action still ongoing 6WAT. Plants emerge and then are killed as none can establish and grow. Trays kept well watered (rain + manual watering).

There are two accreditation webinars scheduled for SA farmers planning on growing #TruFlex or #RoundupReady canola on March 10 and March 23.

Journalism should inform & empower the community, particularly in a crisis. This headline in today's @australian is intended to divide & mislead. It is unconscionable, & deserves condemnation. #COVID19nsw #COVID19Vic #auspol

Today we announced alongside @theGRDC that our Herbicide Innovation Partnership (HIP) will be extended to 2025. We’re proud to put Australian growers at the forefront of developing new molecules while cultivating capability for Australia’s grains industry.
Great job Gus
Last plot for 2020, what a year for trials. Amazing results with Mateno Complete highlighting the benefits of top level weed control. Thanks to all the farmers and agronomists who assisted with finding and hosting trials 👍🏻. 2020 will be one to remember. @Bayer4CropsAU
