SACOA conducted trials to assess the phytotoxicity and efficacy impact of addingBIOPEST to knockdown and herbicide sprays for both Roundup Ready (RR) and Triazine Tolerant (TT) canola.
The findings show that BIOPEST maintained spray efficacy as compared to other adjuvant options and did not cause any additional phytotoxicity.
BIOPEST will control aphids, maintain or improve spray efficacy, and is safe to use in RR knockdown and Flexi-N sprays from 4-8 leaf stage.
Roundup Ready Canola Phytotoxicity and ARG Assessment; confidence interval 95%

BIOPEST will control aphids, maintain or improve spray efficacy, and is safe to use with TT herbicide sprays.
