And we're back to squash and powdery mildew. #DYK KUSABI has only a one day withholding period in squash. One more reason to let KUSABI work its magic against powdery mildew. Mixed together with DU-WETT Super-Spreader of course. As we know thorough coverage is key.

Drying time! The onions 🧅 in our now familiar paddock in the Waikato were lifted and left to dry out in windrows. If the weather gods play nicely they'll soon be ready for export. Thanks Pieter Van Der Westhuizen, #UPLNZ's Regional Manager Upper North Island, for taking us on this journey!

Powdery mildew - a menace in so many crops! Sadly, squash is no exception. Plus all the rain we've had in the Hawke's Bay is not helping either. Powdery mildew targets the leaves, causing severe damage, which in turn means: 👉 the squash is vulnerable to the sun 👉 plant itself is potentially starved of the photosynthesis necessary for it to thrive. The solution? #UPLNZ's KUSABI, a powerful fungicide, to halt powdery mildew infection. Equipped with excellent preventative activity KUSABI works by using a strong translaminar action and vapour activity to ensure the active reaches all areas that could be infected with powdery mildew. Add in a one day withholding period and you know why KUSABI is a must have in your fungicide toolbox.

Our #UPLNZ podcast 43 is out now and it's all about asking the right questions before buying adjuvants. With so many adjuvants to choose from, not all are created (and tested!) equally. Apart from the right fit, the work done behind the scenes to bring and keep an adjuvant in market is just as important. David Lingan, UPL NZ Product Adjuvant Manager, recommends to ask five key questions (if not more) before buying adjuvants. Tip: It's all about 'show me the data'!

Powdery mildew. Again! The disease is everywhere you look at the moment like with these grapes in Marlborough as seen by Alex Easton, #UPLNZ's Regional Manager Upper South Island. Luckily there are several options available to combat powdery mildew this late in the season. K-POW or ORGANIC JMS STYLET OIL are great eradication options, not only for organic growers but conventional ones alike. Don't forget to add in DU-WETT or DU-WETT ORGANIC Super-Spreader to get the thorough coverage required for optimum results.

What happens to white clover seed crops when it rains over 155 mL over a fortnight in Canterbury? "It gets bulky," Reed tells us 🐾 Though pretty to look at, this is an issue, when it's the seed heads the grower is after and not the leaves. Having such a leafy crop makes desiccation more challenging and requires a super spreader like #UPLNZ's DU-WETT in the tank mix to help with coverage. Otherwise desiccation won't work as effectively as it needs to. Hear, hear!

Almost there! Here's the latest update on the onion 🧅 paddock in the Waikato from Pieter Van Der Westhuizen, #UPLNZ's Regional Manager Upper North Island. From tiny seedlings to an ocean of greens. The onions are already lodging, soon to be harvested. And yes, in case you've been wondering, SUPER SPROUT STOP and LI-700 would have gone on before lodging to ensure thorough coverage.
