Bayer HortCast Episode 4 is hosted by Craig White - Market Development Agronomist at Bayer Australia. This is a special episode about Bayer Biologics, with Dr Denise Manker from Bayer Biologics headquarters in West Sacramento, California, U.S.A. Denise and Craig discuss Bayer Biologics, how these are made, how to use them effectively in an IPM program and importantly the benefits over other biologics available in the marketplace.

In this episode Market Development Agronomists Craig White, Matt Willis and Richard Jackman talk about the current weather conditions, pre-emergent herbicide activity/behaviour with Sakura® and Sakura® Flow and what to expect from them in your area, depending on the rain and soil conditions you currently experience. The Market Development Agronomy team are establishing a wide range of trials and field sites, alongside growers who are very busy planting crops and undertaking spraying, which of course involves tank mixes. We explain in detail the tank mixing process, to avoid compatibility issues, saving time and distress. A Sakura® Tank Mixing Guide is available at www.crop.bayer.com.au/tools and as a Tank Sticker - contact your local Bayer representative for a copy. Early weeds are the most competitive, so control them early for the most benefit. You can safely use Velocity® in wheat and barley from the 2-leaf crop stage, and Precept® for broad-leaf weed control in Oats, Wheat and Barley from the 3-leaf crop
