These pages are a general guide to the types of herbicides available and when and how they should be utilised.
Knockdown herbicides for fallow and pre-sowing control. Knockdown herbicides (or non-selective) kill all plants when used in sufficient quantities, under suitable environmental conditions.
Knockdown herbicides effectively kill weeds and are cost-effective.
Use of knockdown herbicides can improve the timeliness of sowing.
Use of knockdown herbicides rather than cultivation will reduce the risk of erosion, improve soil structure and improve plant available soil water content.
