BASF is increasing supply and decreasing the price of its herbicide Crystal to help UK growers promptly deal with their black-grass control programmes this season. BASF pointed to an “abundance of black-grass heads in many cereal crops around the country” before harvest, despite good planning a year earlier. This includes John Deere on machinery hygiene; ADAS on weed biology; Neil Fuller on soil health; Tom Robinson with spray application and Philip Wright on cultivation and drilling techniques. The company said it was working closely with farmers “to ensure that they have sufficient supplies for next season”. BASF is also teaming up with an array of additional experts as it attempts to keep control of black-grass this autumn.
