This year we again visited 1300 fields during our weed and resistance monitoring. Part of the monitoring is determining the resistance situation of different field weeds in Germany. Most of the agricultural areas were already part of the monitoring last year, so that we now have two-year data and can identify trends in infestation for…
The second week of our monitoring for 2020 is about to begin. Just like last year, around 1000 fields across Germany are being sampled again for resistant grass weeds and weeds. We particularly want to re-sample fields that were already added to our database in 2019. This helps us to better evaluate the development of…
From 3-5 March the biennial working meeting on issues of weed biology and control took place in Braunschweig. We were part of the 200 participants and presented our work and initial results. Our lecture dealt with our monitoring program and initial analyzes of the resistance situation in redroot, wind grass, brome, and ryegrass. In addition…
The Ministry of Economics, Labor and Housing of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg has approved the innovation vouchers A & B for the practical implementation of resistance research. We used the money to carry out resistance analysis in the greenhouse, with the help of which we develop solutions for agricultural practice and advice to farmers on…
1189 samples of mainly common redroot, ryegrass, brome, and wind grass have been analyzed so far. It turns out that one or the other resistance can be detected in all of these weeds. The picture is particularly diverse in the case of ryegrasses and common redroot, where either the ALS, the ACCase or both herbicide…
Right now unwanted grass infestation can be observed more frequently in the fields again. But is it a matter of resistance, or ‘just’ the consequence of unfavorable application conditions? With two small pieces of information, we give you a guide to assess the situation correctly. Properly assess the extent of the bad effect Can you…
We offer an overview of our weed and resistance monitoring in the 01/2020 edition of the ‘Getreide-Magazin’. Additionally we’ll show you a preliminary overview of the dispersal area of certain resistances. It is important to demosntrate that resistances can’t only be obsvered where grass weed suppresses the plantation but can also be recognized way sooner.…
Das Jahr ist wieder einmal zu Ende und wir können uns glücklich schätzen, dass wir im letzten Jahr so viel geschafft haben. Unser Monitoring konnte wie geplant durchgeführt werden. Insgesamt haben wir für unsere Kunden 22.000 Töpfe ausgesät, mit denen wir Resistenztests durchgeführt haben. Wir haben sie erfolgreich auf Ackerfuchsschwanz, Weidelgras, Trespen, Windhalm und Kamille…
In consideration of the pandemic situation, we seriously hope that the DLG (German Agricultural Society) field days can take place this year. We are really looking forward to talking to our customers and meeting new and interested cultivators. For that reason we will bring different resistant biotypes. This allows us to demonstrate the problems using…
The first results of the resistance studies have been sent to participating farmers. Of course, a heartfelt thank you to all participants for the cooperation, the provision of your land and the provision of information from the field strike register. The reports are available for download via the Agris42 app and also provide an interpretation…
The resistance tests in the greenhouse are progressing. At the moment we are still testing wind grass, rye grass, and brome grass in addition to redroot. The first results are almost ready, but still need to be processed. In the case of redroot and ryegrass, resistance is found both in the active substance group A…
800 of 981 fields have already been sampled as part of our monitoring. So far, we have taken samples almost exclusively from grain fields. Now there are still some locations scheduled in southern Germany. What is striking about the sampling so far? The great drought in some areas, especially in the east and northeast. The…
Finally, it’s on. Together with farmers and consultants, we have identified almost 1,000 areas that we plan to sample in the coming weeks. We start in the Darmstadt area. Our proprietary app is also being used for the first time. It shows us the locations of the fields, navigates us to the field using Google…
