The HDC has published a revised weed control handbook.

The Weed Control Handbook has been revised and fully updated by John Atwood of ADAS from the original version produced eight years ago. It encompasses new information gleaned from both recent HDC weed control projects and commercial experience.

Suplementary to this, the HDC is also releasing two posters. The HDC Pesticide Checklist Posters have been written by Dove Associates in response to demand from nurseries owing to the length of time it takes for spray operators to find pesticide recommendations, application rates and volumes that they need before spraying. The posters are designed as a guide to growers and “don’t provide a definitive portfolio of information about each approval that can only be gleaned from pesticide labels, manufacturer’s recommendations and internet websites produced by PSD and CSL” says Scott Raffle, HDC Communications Manager to the HDC HNS Panel.
