Horstine unveils high-tech Avadex granule applicator

摘要

Gainsborough firm Horstine has launched an ultra-accurate Avadex granule applicator that aims to boost application accuracy and help stem the increase in blackgrass infestation.The arable farmer's armoury of products to control the worrisome weed is shrinking fast. As other methods fall by the wayside, growers are increasingly falling back on Avadex Excel 15G granules to provide control.According to Stuart Hill, technical manager at grain merchant Frontier, blackgrass has flourished thanks to wheat-heavy rotations and extreme weather, which has hampered cultural control measures. Add to that the withdrawal of several key products, and the ability of growers to keep on top of black-grass has been seriously impaired.
