Grassland Weed Control

[Chris F]

A quick question for all the grassland boys, what weed control products do you use on a yearly basis?

We are trying to make sure we have a comprehensive list available on Farm Maketplace in 2020.

This is what we have at the moment:

 

[ollie989898]

You don't have a straight 2,4D product, although you have Polo which will probably do most of what folk want. Can you get depitox instead of agritox- otherwise you have 2 MCPA products.

You have a flurox product so that is that sorted.

You don't have any forefront listed? The rest of the Dow grassland portfolio and knapsack approved stuff is excellent- got thistleX, got pastor and got Doxstar so besides forefront there isn't much missing from that.

I'm a peculiar chap so it might not apply but I would want an adjuvant for all grassland products IE phenoxies and the pyrimidines and I don't mean companion gold.

I would get on De Sangosse's case and get Li700 listed if it was me.

Can you get a straight dicamba?

Maize products: you will need a straight mesotrione and a straight nicosulfuron, plus a non-ionic as a bare bones. Might be problematic to source though.

Fodder beet- chloridazon and the combined phemedipham/desmedipham product would do most of what folk want.

Good grazing/cropping management
The ability to put up with a few ''weeds''

Thanks @ollie989898 Really appreciate the feedback. We do actually have Depitox listed - but it didn't show in the grassland section, I've fixed that now.

Should I be getting Forefront T or Forefront Pro?

I'll ask about the Li700 as an Adjuvent.

There are only 2 staight Dicamba products from what i can see - Antuco and Oceal.

I'll work on the Maize and Fodder Beet too.

I'm not familiar with forefront pro vs forefront t. I would ask what the majority of the customers might prefer? I've used forefront t though.

Are those deliverd prices and whats the minimum order

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Starane Hi Load ?

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Docstar

Squire Ultra is one of the few for docks that is clover safe. Some don't like it but it has a place on this farm in certain situations.

If you order in 1s there is a delivery charge on some, others are free delivery if you order in multiple's. It's all on the products if you click on them. Actual deals are down to the vendors themselves.

Doxstar is there - https://www.marketplace.farm/inputs/pesticides/doxstar-pro-2l/

As is Starane Hi Load - https://www.marketplace.farm/inputs/pesticides/starane-hi-load-hl-10l-333g-fluroxypyr/

Please bear in mind we haven't gone through prices for this year yet - we are trying to make sure that we have access to as many products as farmers need as possible. But we have a lot more listed than ever before and its growing all the time.

 

[ollie989898]

Chris, it might be worth posting a little post outlining what each product is approved on, for example is Oceal approved on maize and grass etc?

Another herbicide option for maize may be Maister and another will be pyridate.

To be fair you have a pretty good selection there.

Graminicides for beet/spuds etc may be another slew of stuff but I dont know what else you list to be fair.

We have sold that before, I will try and get it listed as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

All the approvals are listed under the HSE information - however we could move this higher up in the description on the products to make it more obvious.
