Consistency in an Inconsistent Climate: The Adjuvant Advantage

In an increasingly unpredictable climate, achieving consistent crop establishment and weed control has never been more important. In this podcast, Oliver Johnson, Commercial Technical Manager, and Alan East, Director of Business Development, discuss the challenges facing growers and agronomists when using pre-emergence herbicides in variable seasonal conditions. The conversation explores how factors such as soil moisture, temperature and rainfall can influence herbicide performance and overall crop outcomes. Oliver and Alan share practical insights into the role of adjuvants and how they can help optimise spray application, retention and efficacy. Drawing on both scientific research and field experience, they explain how adjuvant technology can support more reliable pre-emergence herbicide programmes. The discussion also highlights key considerations for growers seeking to improve consistency across different field and weather scenarios. Listeners will gain valuable advice on maximising the return from herbicide investments while supporting robust weed management strategies. Join us as we examine how the right combination of agronomy, adjuvant technology and application practice can help deliver consistency when conditions are anything but predictable.
