6 of the best choices for cereal weed control.
With a wide range of reliable, leading herbicides for use in cereals, Clayton can provide a wide choice of cost-effective products for autumn weed control in the critical mid-September to late-October window. Achieving good crop establishment to maximise yields relies on effective, early season control of problem grass weeds and broad-leaved weeds. Careful planning and effective stacking of residual herbicides targeting pre- and post-emergence weed control will help growers minimise weed competition in their cereal crops.
