Does anyone from Product Support @DenonUK ever reply to requests for assistance submitted via the website? I've been waiting over 2 weeks for a reply...

Do you have any #blackgrass like this lurking in your fields?🔎 Weed scientist @kevin_godfrey1 is looking for blackgrass/Italian ryegrass samples for a resistance project. DM Kevin for details or to arrange a collection pack

Super excited about this trial! Overwatch vs Luximax. Diff sowing speeds & sowing depths. Diff coleoptile Wheats. Visual differences showing up already in treatments, with Wheat only at the 1 1/2 leaf stage. #YPAGRandD

Interesting stuff going on in our overwatch trial. Doing a great job on the ryegrass. Think the canola might be getting the bleaching from it, correct me if I’m wrong!

In stark contrast to NW Scotland where rainfall for this month is currently over 150% of the average in places, parts of central and southern Britain have barely scraped 5% of the average May rainfall so far. Some regions are still on track for their driest May on record...

Just read that the European Commission has set a target to reduce the “overall use and risk” of pesticides by 50% by 2030 under its new Farm to Fork strategy - Yikes! Hopefully the brakes will come off Biotech options such as gene editing as alternative means of crop protection?

3L Triagra (Triallate 500g/L) + 500mL Luximax (cinmethylin 375g/L) was the most effective mixture tested in 2019/20. Almost no survival across 100,000+ ryegrass seeds tested. It would be very interesting to see the performance of this mix across field situations.

For the first time, we can directly study the genetics responsible for herbicide resistance, a real game changer for our understanding of what makes black-grass so rampant. rothamsted.ac.uk/news/gene-b…

Some news from @FMCcropANZ on a herbicide whose active ingredient bixlozone is just one chlorine away from clomazone. The pair are the only members of Class 13 mode of action (F4 HRAC legacy) that inhibit DOXP synthase (aka DXS)
Thanks to the APVMA for a world-first approval of Overwatch® Herbicide, well ahead of schedule. Australian growers will see ryegrass and its weedy mates very differently from 2021. To see it in the paddock this season, contact your local FMC rep or go to overwatchherbicide.com

With mounting resistance to single-site chemistries making control of ramularia in barley increasingly difficult to achieve, we're working with @cpm_magazine to highlight the importance of including multi-site fungicide in spring spray programmes. Read ⬇️ hubs.ly/H0nrZ430

Multisite fungicides form the foundation of any disease control programme - following trials with @InteragroUK there’s evidence to show adding adjuvant Kantor can help overall septoria control of #folpet, translating to yield benefit. Read @cpm_magazine hubs.ly/H0nkXHs0
