Crop Protection Magazine is a must for all tillage farmers. It provides information for the whole season on crop products and practices.
The magazine will be free with next week’s Irish Farmers Journal. It will be published on Thursday 9 April and will be online on Wednesday night.
It has lists of all of the herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and plant growth regulators for cereals, beans and potatoes.
This year, Tom McCabe of UCD talks about the changing face of crop protection and while there are challenges, good protection can still be achieved.
Steven Kildea of Teagasc discusses wheat diseases and the breakdown in wheat genetics to yellow rust.
Guidance
VJ Bhaskar of Teagasc has all the latest on herbicide resistance. He paints some great pictures of how products are working on weeds and breaks down the latest resistance trends.
Importantly, we will provide guidance on personal protective equipment, have some crop record pages and have a disease identification guide.
As Ireland takes on the EU presidency, we look at what Ireland can do and change during its six-month term.
We examine the differences in branded and generic products and what value each of them has to the market. We also look at products coming down the pipeline.
The 48-page magazine should be picked up next week and kept with your crop records for the season ahead.
