Latest OSR news and technical advice 

Corteva’s top tips for OSR growers this winter
  1. Grab some fresh winter air and chase those pigeons off your crop! 
  2. If you haven’t applied your propyzamide already, remember that the cut-off for Astrokerb® & Kerb® Flo applications is the end of January. 
  3. Do your final stewardship checks before applying propyzamide.
  4. Needing extra broad-leaved weed control? Belkar® can be applied until BBCH 21. You can tank mix Belkar with Astrokerb or Kerb Flo.​
  5. Calibrate your fertiliser spreader ready for applications of N and Sulphur.​ 
  6. Spring will be here before you know it. As your crop opens up, review the broad-leaved weed pressure. Order Korvetto® ready for the use period, for the ultimate spring clean.
