Adama says trials with diflufenican, pendimethalin and chlorotoluron have all been shown to improve the efficacy of aclonifen and cinmethylin-based programmes. Trials have shown that the addition of Anthem (400 g/L pendimethalin) significantly improves black-grass control when used alongside a tank mix of Proclus (aclonifen) plus Liberator (flufenacet and diflufenican). “In six independent trials, which included work carried out by ADAS and NIAB, the inclusion of pendimethalin alongside these newer chemistries improved blackgrass control by between 10 and 16%,” says Adama herbicides technical specialist Holly Pratt “Pendimethalin can either be included at the pre- or post-emergence timing by applying Anthem…
