Tillage
There was a big focus on growing cereal crops without neonicotinoids at the 'Cereals' event and the effect this will have on BYDV levels.
Bayer will appeal against the recent ruling of the General Court of the European Union (EU) to ban neonicotinoids
AgriLand has learned that neonicotinoids will be available for use this autumn. Therefore the use of Redigo Deter will be permitted in 2018.
A vote to extend the ban on the use of certain insecticides – neonicotinoids or neonics – has been passed by the SCOPAFF today (April 27).
Issues set to affect Irish tillage going forward include the future EU budget, debates on a ban on some herbicides, and future strategies.
