Conventional herbicides - public perceptions take a dive. Despite the community benefits that herbicides have provided with improved weed control, the perception of conventional herbicides, in the eyes of the public, has taken a few hits. ..

Pick the nozzle for spraying quality and then the adjuvant for optimising control.  The new regulations for using 2,4-D means that growers must use very coarse (VC) to ultra-coarse (UC) spray qualities for their fallow spraying depending on the conditions and sensitive areas in the vicinity. ..

Go through the checklist below to help determine important factors which may affect spray drift when using 2,4D Chemicals. ..

The use of technology to make pesticide use more efficient through better control while using less pesticide is becoming increasingly important in modern agriculture. Unfortunately there is a growing mistrust within the general community of many agricultural practices.  ..

With glyphosate being in the non-agricultural media over the past few months it is a good time to look at chemical residues in food and explain how acceptable levels are determined for various food types.
 ..

With the growing resistance to post emergent herbicides in many weed populations the message going to farmers is that they need to use more pre-emergent herbicides in their farming system.
