🚨 Trial on Controlling Thrips in Chrysanthemum Plants 🚨 Excited to share insights from a recent trial conducted with my team, where we experimented with various chemical treatments to manage thrips infestations in Chrysanthemum plants. 🌱 We tested combinations of Admire, Abamectin, Insecta, and Fipronil in different ratios. 🧪 Here’s what we found: - The Admire + Abamectin + Surfactant and Fipronil + Insecta (1:1.5:0.75) ratios showed significant effectiveness in thrips control. - Some phytotoxicity was observed in Poinsettia and Celosia crops, but no negative effects were found in Carnation, Argyranthemum, and more. It’s thrilling to see tangible results in our efforts to protect these beautiful blooms! #Agriculture #PlantProtection #Chrysanthemum #TrialResults #ThripsControl #SustainableFarming #Floriculture #ResearchInAgriculture #Imidacloprid #PestManagement

Weeds cost Australian grain growers almost $3.3 b annually - Reason why #GRDC invested in the Herbicide Innovation Partnership in 2015 It is no secret that weeds are a major cost and constraint to grain production in Australia. In fact, weeds are the single most significant cause of crop losses globally and are estimated to cost Australian grain growers almost $3.3 billion – or about $146 per hectare – annually. Not only is this a huge drain on the industry, but changes in the scientific, corporate and regulatory landscape over recent decades have caused a sharp decline in new herbicide development. Taken in concert with rising frequencies of herbicide resistance, the range of effective chemical tools available for weed control has been shrinking. In 2015, in a long-term strategic initiative, GRDC invested in a partnership with Bayer Crop Science to support and improve the investigation into new herbicide modes of action to help arm Australian grain growers in the battle for ongoing and sustainable weed control.... https://bit.ly/3xXDdi5 Grains Research and Development Corporation #Australia #Agriculture #Grains #Weeds #Herbicide

Exciting news for the sugar industry in Australia!
