SAGIT Podcast #17 – Improving efficacy of glufosinate in canola – Rebekah Allen
Description
When the moratorium to grow genetically modified canola was lifted in 2020, one of the new opportunities for South Australian growers was access to herbicide-tolerant varieties and a new chemistry mode of action.
As herbicide resistance increases, particularly with
glyphosate and clethodim, this SAGIT-funded project run by the Hart Field-Site Group looked at maximising the efficacy of glufosinate-ammonium (Liberty) for annual ryegrass control in LibertyLink® herbicide-tolerant canola.
In this podcast episode, Hart Research and Extension
Manager Rebekah Allen talks about the trials and pot experiments exploring the effects of temperature and humidity on the herbicide’s efficacy.

On average, SAGIT invests $2 million a year in supporting research crucial to advancing South Australia’s
$4.6 billion grain industry.
These projects deliver real improvements in countless areas of grain growing, farming systems, soil
management, harvesting, storage, processing and marketing, and they also provide technical information to growers.
