Broadacre Cropping

Oilseeds, Cereals, Pulses, Sugar Cane and Rice

Dow AgroSciences offers products for pre-post emergence grass control, broadleaf control and insect management in:

  • Oilseeds - Canola, sunflowers
  • Winter and summer cereals - Wheat, barley, oats, triticale, sorghum, maize, millets
  • Pulses - Lupins, chickpeas, faba beans, field peas, mung beans, soybeans, lentils
  • Sugar cane
  • Rice

Oilseed and pulse crops are often grown in rotation with cereals as grass-free disease "breaks." This also provides the opportunity to input organic nitrogen in the cases of pulses. Effective pest and weed control is essential to the successful establishment of these crops, which are less competitive early in the crop growth cycle than grass and broadleaf weeds.
