Xivana Prime is a foliar fungicide for excellent, reliable downy mildew control in grapes. Fluoxapiprolin, the active ingredient in Xivana Prime, delivers a new fungicide mode of action with high efficacy and very low dose rates. Long lasting efficacy (10-21 days) allows longer spray intervals and flexible programs, even under rainy conditions. With an excellent safety profile for pollinators and beneficial insects, Xivana Prime also has no measurable transfer to wine for confidence when exporting. We are pleased to announce that Xivana® Prime has been included in the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) booklet ‘Agrochemicals registered for use in Australian viticulture', commonly known as the ‘Dog book', for control of Downy mildew in the production of grapes for export wine. https://www.awri.com.au/wp-content/uploads/agrochemical_booklet.pdf Bayer Crop Science website with other useful product resources and guides : www.crop.bayer.com.au search for a Solution, Label/SDS or Bayer Representative, TWITTER CONTACTS Darren Alexander twitter.com/darrenbayer2015 @darrenbayer2015 Alistair Beyer twitter.com/albeyer74 @albeyer74 Craig White twitter.com/photobycw @photobycw Bayer Crop Science Australia: twitter.com/Bayer4CropsAU Users of products must read the label attached to the product before use.

    EPISODE 9 – July 2022 (Macadamia Industry and SIVANTO® prime) Bayer HortCast Episode 9 is hosted by Craig White -Market Development Agronomist at Bayer Crop Science Australia and he discusses the achievements and challenges of the Australian Macadamia Industry over the years, with Jolyon Burnett, CEO of the Australian Macadamia Society and Bayer Business Development Manager Tim O'Grady explains how new SIVANTO® prime (New Group 4D insecticide) can safely help manage the devastating Macadamia lace bug (Cercotingis decoris) from causing significant nut losses. In this episode we discuss how the macadamia industry has grown since the 1950's to become Australia's fourth largest horticultural export. Australia macadamias are exported to over 40 countries all around the world, supporting thousands of jobs. Macadamia Lace Bug (MLB) is a devastating pest which pierces the plant tissue to feed on sap, damaging the leaves and flowers, preventing nut set and triggering out of season flowering issues. This is a critical time for macadamia and SIVANTO prime insecticide offers Rapid protection through direct or systemic activity on MLB, Flexibility over flowering with low toxicity to most bee species, and Safety to other beneficial species that are present during flowering. Tim O'Grady explains each of these features in detail and how it benefits macadamia production, and the need for careful stewardship and use of any crop protection products. SIVANTO prime information: https://www.sivantoprime.com.au/ Australian Macadamia Society https://australianmacadamias.org/ Further development of SIVANTO prime is currently underway in conjunction with industry. MT12024 - The development of DC-092 for the control of spotting bug in macadamia nut and tropical inedible peel crops.

In this episode we discuss how RimPro disease and insect prediction model can be useful to assist growers and advisers to optimise use of chemistry such as Vayego® Insecticide in protecting stone fruit, pome fruit, almonds and macadamias from pests like light brown apple moth, codling moth, various weevils, and carpophilus beetles (depending on crop type) to name a few. Club apple varieties and emerging technologies are discussed in some detail, including the role of robots and drones for managing pests and diseases and manual tasks in orchards, as well as re-invigorating interest from young people to pursue a career in horticulture. High Density planting and orchard block management configurations, with multiple leaders (~10,000 per ha) are very important in achieving high efficiency from emerging technology. Consumer experience is very important as well as packaging innovation developments to drive consumption of healthier options like apples, and this has been seen in Europe, but not as much in Australia. We explore Why is this so. If you have any ideas, get in touch and let us know?

We invite you to visit a site with us or get in touch to discuss. Matt and Craig explain how the field trial work is performing and what we are learning from small and large area (20-100ha) plot trials, in particular Mateno® Complete herbicide. This herbicide is currently under development by Bayer for grass and broadleaf weed control in wheat and barley, with flexible Incorporated by Sowing (IBS) or Early Post Emergence (EPE) application (wheat only EPE) timings depending on the crop. They delve into Early Post Emergence timing and the benefits this provides including the ability to control early, competitive weeds emerging across the soil surface profile (in-furrow, on furrow shoulder, in inter-row) and longer residual control period into the season. Mateno Complete contains three-complementary active ingredients, including group 32 that is new and unique mode of action in Australia (aclonifen (group 32) + pyroxasulfone (group 15) + diflufenican (group 12).

This is a special episode about Integrated Pest Management (IPM) In this episode Craig discusses Integrated Pest Management in Vegetable crops with Jessica Page and Dr. Paul Horne of IPM Technologies, as well as on-ground practical application of IPM in the Lockyer valley with Carmen Brown from Bayer. Integrated pest management is important for crops, as it brings together the best possible tools including highly selective and targeted pesticides working together with beneficial insects and cultural practices to overcome pest problems in brassica (and other crops) crops like diamondback moth (plutella). Jessica Page talks about the newly formed Biological Research Company, new AUSVEG crop specific IPM guides and her involvement in IPM With Dr Paul Horne over many years. Dr Horne discusses the evolution of IPM, its role in ensuring growers have biological, chemical and cultural tools available to control pests sustainably in crops. One such example is Diadegma wasp, which is very successful in an IPM program along with Movento® (Group 23), Belt® (Group 28), and Bt (such as Dipel® Group 11A). Carmen Brown from Bayer talks us through successful implementation of IPM program to control diamondback moth in brassica crops.

    Bayer Crop Cast Episode 9, October 2019. A very busy Spring field day session is upon us, with plenty of useful trials, field days and information to share, that can be of benefit in Crop Protection. Tim Murphy, Richard Jackman and Craig White from the Technical Market Development Agronomy Team discuss Cereal Leaf Diseases like Septoria, Powdery Mildew and others. Our crop disease sequence trials around Australia are showing strong results. We discuss Loose Smut control with EverGol Energy seed treatment compared to other strategies, and note the positive impact that EverGol Energy is providing in suppressing Rhizoctonia in cereal crops. The GM canola moratorium in South Australia is under review which may allow growers there to utilise this important crop protection tool in the future. Hugh Trenorden and Craig White walk through a canola herbicide systems trial at Katanning, WA, explaining what is being seen in terms of weed control and crop tolerance. These trials examine the important role of Triazine Tolerant, Roundup Ready, TruFlex (with Roundup Ready) and stacked trait canola systems (XC). We discuss the importance of each systems, including the benefit of TruFlex Canola with the increased flexibility and benefits it provides in managing weeds as part of an Integrated Weed Management system. More information on how to access TruFlex Canola: http://www.truflex.com.au There is a lot of information within about crop protection, trials, field walks and much more.
