Alfalfa
Like OSR, Alfalfa should be treated similarly to other seed crops. Weeds are a huge problem in alfalfa, affecting mostly during the establishment of the crop as well as in established fields, meaning that care must be taken all throughout the growth stages to ensure a healthy robust yield.
Cotton
Australia's cotton farmers lead the world in sustainable, ethical cotton production. They grow more cotton with less land and water than ever before, and use 95% less pesticides than a decade ago.
Flax
When spraying flax seeds, the operator must be aware that the crop is highly sensitive to herbicide drift.
Fruits
As well as taking extra care of the crop during the cooler months, potatoes need a great deal of care throughout their growth as far as spraying is concerned.
Kukurydza
Similar to sunflowers, maize is a crop which utilizes and thrives on sunlight and is best grown in sunny regions to ensure highest yield per hectare. Soils should be warm enough to ensure a good emergence shortly after being drilled, therefore late Spring is the ideal time for the grower to commence planting.
Oats
Oats grow similarly to cereals crops and are drilled plus harvested at the same time of year as these too. The most rapid growth stage for oats is in the Spring, where we see brighter days and an increase in temperature.
Reduce damage to the top of the plant
‘‘In crops such as sunflowers and maize it is often still necessary to apply crop protection at a later growing stage. ’’
Sunflowers’ drought-tolerance make it an ideal crop to grow in warmer countries. With the selective breeding of the crop over the years however, it has become adaptable to grow in most parts of the world, within the dry sunny regions. The sunflower plant has a deep, finely branched tap-root system that can utilise water from soil layers as deep as 2m. This is why the crop often performs well during a dry season.

Rapeseed / Canola
Rapeseed is a bright-yellow flowering member of the mustard or cabbage family, cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed.
Sugar beet
When growing sugar beet, seedbed preparation, seed quality, seedling emergence, plant growth and row spacing are all important factors.
Sunflower
The sunflower plant has a deep, finely branched tap-root system that can utilise water from soil layers as deep as 2m.
Tulips
The sunflower plant has a deep, finely branched tap-root system that can utilise water from soil layers as deep as 2m.
Vegetables
We know that vegetables need slightly more care than some other crops, with constant observation to ensure that once harvested the crop can be transferred from field to fork as timely as possible whilst also being safe and ready for human consumption.
