In a trial at NIAB’s Hinxton site in South Cambridgeshire, ADAMA has been looking at ways of powering up black-grass control by boosting herbicide programmes with the inclusion of three key herbicides.

The trial, which focused on three key ADAMA products (ANTHEM®, TOWER® and CHROME®) has shown that the inclusion of the additional active ingredients contained within these products provides a cost-effective return on investment by boosting black-grass control. In the short video below, ADAMA’s herbicide specialist, Holly Pratt and Michael Farr, regional agronomy manager for the South West, discuss how the addition of ANTHEM® to a pre-emergence treatment of Proclus and Liberator provides a noticeable reduction in black-grass head count.

Holly and Michael also discuss the how the addition of an early post-emergence treatment of TOWER® plus prosulfocarb boosts the level of black-grass control offered by a pre-emergence application of Luxinum Plus and Stomp Aqua.

They then conclude by looking at how the addition of chlorotoluron (CTU) as either TOWER® or CHROME® delivers a benefit to a base programme of Proclus and Liberator.

Solutions from ADAMA's Herbicide Portfolio:

ANTHEM® … The user-friendly option: pendimethalin 400g/l

TOWER® … an exclusive three-way formulation: chlorotoluron 250g/l + diflufenican 40g/l + pendimethalin 300g/l
