How to get the best out of Belkar herbicide and planning your propyzamide (Kerb Flo 500 and Astrokerb) applications this autumn
There are a range of oilseed rape crops out there, from those that were drilled early after winter barley, to those that have struggled to establish in the hot, dry few weeks that followed the late harvest, and some crops that were drilled later once the moisture was present. With conditions still warm in early September and a lot of rain around the country, weeds are growing fast.
With Belkar®, wait until your crop is established and then tackle the weeds that are visible. Belkar offers outstanding control of a range of broad-leaved weeds including keys ones such as cleavers, cranesbill, poppy, shepherd's purse and fumitory.
Belkar has a window of application from either 1 or 15 September (depending on the rate being used) through to 31 December and it works in warm and cool conditions (down to 2°C) making it the ideal autumn herbicide.
There are three treatment options of Belkar:
- At two true leaves, an application at 0.25L/ha will take out the weeds which have germinated alongside the crop and, in some circumstances, that will be enough broad-leaved control before an application of Astrokerb® (propyzamide + aminopyralid) or Kerb® Flo 500 (propyzamide) where grassweeds are a problem.
- In high weed pressure situations where germination of another flush of weeds occurs, growers have the option to make a second 0.25L/ha spray. This is usually two to four weeks after the first application.
- Depending on workloads, growers can wait until six true leaves of the crop and all the weeds have flushed – after 15 September – to tackle bigger weeds at a rate of 0.5L/ha which will take care of the weeds going into the autumn.

Pioneer maize harvest checklist
Careful steps at harvest time can both maximise the tonnage of forage maize harvested and optimise the quality of maize silage at feed out.
In this Pioneer Maize Harvest Checklist, we cover key topics from assessing dry matter content accurately, the ideal chop length for fermentation and cow health, and the importance of rapid harvesting and proper consolidation.
The checklist also highlights the benefits of using silage additives to enhance nutritional quality and prevent spoilage. Read more to ensure your dairy rations are both nutritionally and economically efficient.
