Disease Cultural Management Controls

Anthracnose Small amount of N frequently, Increase height of cut if possible.

Brown Patch Reduce N Levels in high humidity, Decrease Thatch.

Curvularia Alleviate stresses, increase mowing heights if possible.

Dollar Spot Balanced N&K fertility, remove dew.

Fairy Ring Drench, wetting agents, soil fumigation, hydroject.

Fusarium Remove excess thatch, compaction, apply balance NPK, acidify soil pH.

Helminthosporium Increase drainage, Increase N levels.

Leptosphaerulina N,P fertiliser application.

Pythium Improve drainage, review irrigation practices, minimize thatch.

Red Thread Increase N levels within Plant.

Rust Increase N levels within Plant.

Slime Mould Forcefully wash leaves.

Spring Dead Spot Cease use of N 6 weeks prior to dormancy.

Take All Patch Acidifying N sources, improve drainage.

Spraywise Broadacre Application Handbook

This comprehensive, industry-leading Handbook provides guidance through the complex process of spray application. It enables growers and agronomists to make informed decisions for increased operational fl exibility without losing effi cacy.

Spraywise Application Stewardship

Course

This accredited course consolidates information from the Handbook and our workshops to provide participants with an exceptional working knowledge on best practice spray application.

Spraywise Decisions

Our online spray application decision tool provides farmers with localised forecast information via point location with GPS coordinates. It generates two, fi ve, seven and 14 day forecast meteograms and is automatically updated every three hours. Accuracy is to within one square kilometre. Find it at www spraywisedecisions.com.au

Spraywise Summer Spraying Guides

These handy A3 reference charts detail suggested mixes and product rates. It also addresses application considerations for various conditions. It is an easy to read reference to help manage specifi c problem weeds.

Spraywise Nozzle and Adjuvants

DVD

This comprehensive DVD demonstrates the technical and practical benefi ts gained through correct nozzle selection for your specifi c application and the use of adjuvants as appropriate in your spraying activities.

Spraywise Nozzle Chart

Popular nozzles have been collated into one A3 poster, highlighting the various spray qualities produced with a range of pressures. An ideal reference to help select the right nozzle for the job. It also includes tips for water management, drift reduction and tank mixing order.

Spraywise Application Guide

At last! This easy to read A3 poster details recommended spray qualities and water rates for the complete range of Nufarm products. Resulting from many years of research and development by Nufarm, this reference is a must for all spray applicators.

Spraywise Calculator

Anyone using twin-line technology for their ground application equipment will fi nd the Spray Quality Calculator extremely useful. The calculator makes light work of determining the correct nozzle combination for various speed and pressure scenarios.

Spraywise WaterCheck

Nufarm Laboratory will test for hardness, pH, salinity, turbidity and bicarbonates and provide a detailed recommendation to manage your water source.

Spraywise BA Log Book

An easy to use spray log book for farmers and cooperatives. The applicator can detail weather and growing conditions, location, mix-up and set-up details. Includes 50 pages with double carbon copies. Includes also Spraywise Nozzle Chart, Application Guide, Mixing Guide and valuable tips to avoid drift.

Spraywise® is a Nufarm initiative to deliver best practice spraying and drift management techniques.

Over the past seven years, Spraywise has been instrumental in raising awareness amongst the farming community about important spray application parameters. Spraywise consolidates various tools, research results and training courses into one program to assist farmers better manage their spraying activities.
