Use of residual based herbicides during the 2023 season in and around the Wentworth NSW region

Residual herbicide information

Thank you for participating in our survey regarding residual based herbicides during the 2023 cropping season in and around the Wentworth Region. This information will be used to assist with data collection as part of GRDC Funded project: NGN Summer Fallow Weed Management. 
 
For reference, residual herbicide is defined as: 
 
* A herbicide(s) that have a long lasting activity in the soil. These herbicides are often applied directly to the soil prior to planting crops, pre-emergent. Residual herbicides rely on moisture and microbial activity to break down. (DPIRD WA)
 
Examples of product names could be: Overwatch; Reflex; IMI's; Callisto; Group B products and others. 

Mode of action group numbers may include: 13; 14; 2; 27 and others.

1.During the 2023 cropping season, did you use a residual based herbicide? 
2.If you answered yes, when did you apply your residual herbicide? 
3.What was the winter crop grown where the residual herbicide was used? (can select more than one)
4.What was the name of the residual herbicide(s) used?
5.What was the rate (of the residual herbicide) used? 
6.Do you think the residual herbicide applied during the winter (in-crop phase) has assisted with early summer weed control?
7.What summer weeds have been suppressed/controlled as a result of a residual herbicide that was applied in winter (in-crop phase)
8.What soil type describes the area where the residual herbicide was applied?
9.What is the soil pH where the residual herbicide was applied?
10.What summer weeds are typical in your area? (examples may include fleabane, sow thistle, windmill grass, spiney emex, paddy melons, feather top rhodes grass, potato weed, etc)
11.How much rain did you receive during the growing season (April 2023  - October 2023)?

13.What is your postcode?
14.Would you like to add any other comments to add regarding your use of residual based herbicides?
15.Thank you for your feedback. If you would like to become involved with this project, or to receive updates about the planned trials for 2024 and 2025 in the Wentworth region please add your details below.
