Just for you Mark Brear.😉

After another foggy start. They were double stacked in the pits at Stonyhurst. Great weather for broadleaf control.

Foggy morning. Time for a wash.

A beautiful evening to finish a busy day sowing pasture and spraying broadleaf weeds.

After receiving some fantastic rain, we are back in the air baiting slugs and putting out fertiliser. Now is a great time for gibb acid application to get that pasture moving.

Going to be a good day for killling crickets.

It’s cricket season…… no not that sort of cricket.

Crickets feed above ground at night and take refuge in cracks in the soil during the day. Crickets feed outwards from the cracks, defoliating and killing pasture grasses. They are selective feeders, preferring grasses but also eating legumes, weeds and seed.

After a tough growing season in the past 12 months it’s important to protect any seed bank. With the current very dry conditions grass seed will be high on their menu.

On heavier soils, damage shows clearly as bare patches associated with soil cracks. Damage on lighter soils is often harder to see, as seeds and seedlings eaten by crickets are often covered by pasture - but if the bare earth is revealed when the pasture is pushed away by hand, cricket feeding may be seen.

The potential for severe long term pasture damage makes early detection very important. Crickets can quickly defoliate and kill older grasses with high grazing pressure on the crown.

Populations greater than 10/m2 are considered economically damaging. At 20/m2 they can consume up to 16 kg DM/ha/day, and populations can reach 100 to 150/m2.

Crickets can be effectively controlled using maldison-grain baits. Border Air can supply and apply bait fast and efficiently, providing the best economy for total pest control.

For areas that also have a high population of grasshoppers, a spray application of fipronil can be used for control of both pests.

After a challenging start to the season it’s important to get that pasture moving now it’s turned cold. After some recent rain we have started spraying Gibb acid to improve grass cover. Gibb acid can be incorporated into a broadleaf spray to maximise the application.
As a Spraysafe accredited operator our aircraft are pattern tested to provide the best coverage available.

Happy international crop dusters day. We’d like to thank our clients and industry partners for making our industry what it is today. hopefully a good drop of rain is landing in a paddock near you soon.
