As farmers gear up for the autumn planting season, the importance of soil health, weather conditions, and the right adjuvant in optimising pre-emergence herbicide performance cannot be overstated. At Nichino UK, we’re here to guide you in making the most of your herbicide applications this season.

As the main autumn drilling window approaches alongside a period of wet weather, farmers need to think strategically about how to maximise the longevity of pre-emergence herbicides in the weed germination zone, to ensure a robust start to the growing season.

After an intensely wet year, soil repair and giving careful consideration to the weather implications on herbicide performance will be vital to secure pre-em efficacy and get crops up and away weed-free. Here’s some tailored advice on optimising pre-emergence herbicide performance this autumn.

It’s vital your pre-emergence herbicides are effective despite challenging weather conditions, should they arise. Here’s our latest advice on how to stop the weather working against your pre-ems.

Building resilience in plants – by treating seeds with a biostimulant seed treatment – is one part of the jigsaw that growers can use to help their crops withstand and adapt to the adverse effects of extreme weather and protect genetic potential as soon as it goes in the ground.

Backrow Max is your partner in ensuring that your pre-emergence herbicides deliver consistent, long-lasting weed control, no matter the conditions.

What can growers do to optimise crop establishment odds this autumn? Biostimulants applied to the seed are becoming increasingly valuable

Fungicides have got better over time, but keeping spray intervals tight and product application on-target remains a challenge. Teaming blight fungicide sprays with the drift retardant Crusade, will help keep you spraying in challenging conditions, and maximise fungicide efficacy.

Imagine a season where every seed counts. With Newton biostimulant seed treatment, you give your seeds the best start possible.

Newton biostimulant seed treatment nurtures crops from their earliest stages, ensuring robust growth, improved resilience and maximum yields come harvest.

Based on plant-sourced signalling peptides – a type of plant hormone – Newton ST biostimulant is the natural eco-friendly alternative to chemical seed treatment that stimulates plants to thrive naturally.

As May broaches and the possibility of drier weather finally arrives, growers are encouraged to utilise the benefits of adjuvant technology to help maximise spraying hours and overcome the challenging conditions for crop protection success.

With a stressful start to the growing season for winter and spring crops alike, taking steps to de-stress barley crops with biostimulants, could be crucial to reduce ramularia risk this season in order to safeguard yield and quality potential.

Incorporating compatibility adjuvant Kantor could help to mitigate a tank-mixing disaster this spring.
