1. The document discusses methods for controlling the invasive weeds Capeweed and Paterson's Curse.
2. Both weeds can germinate after false breaks in weather and summer rain, producing many seeds that remain viable for years.
3. Control methods recommended include spraying herbicides early and selectively, using spray-grazing techniques, and maintaining pastures with competitive species to prevent the weeds from taking hold.
4. The most important thing is to spray the weeds early before they become well established and produce seeds.
These slides discuss our recent cultivation of groundnut and its oil extraction. We have organically cultivated groundnut and its yield was better than an average non-organic farming. The procedures are presented in the slides.
In this slide I explain the broiler management. if you consider and understand it easily then you can increase your productivity / profit in a very good way.
thanks.

Organic pulses cultivation - black gram cultivationSanthana Krishnan
Black gram is a highly nutritious pulse. It is rich in protein, potassium, calcium, iron, niacin, thiamine and riboflavin. These slides illustrate organic way of cultivating the black gram.
In this presentation, we cover how to evaluate dairy freestall/cubicle barns with a focus on cow's needs. In addition, we describe how to renovate freestall barns for improved cow comfort.
Preparation of crop calendar after performing following work.
Crop planning, raising field crops in multiple cropping systems: Field preparation, seed treatment, nursery raising, sowing, nutrient management, water management, weed management and management of insect pests and diseases of crops harvesting, threshing, drying, winnowing, storage and marketing of produce.
Preparation of balance sheet including cost of cultivation, net returns per student as well as per team of a group of students.

Presentation by Brigitte Zettl. Website: http://crownvalleyorganics.com
These slides were part of a class by Brigitte Zettl. We are certainly pleased to share the slides, but we want to emphasize that the slides were only visual reminders for the in-depth verbal information given in the class.
2. A little bit about Seymour Ag:
• Website – SeymourAg.com.au
• New company Seymour Ag Supplies
• Been going for 7 months
• Belong to NRI
• Staff consists of
– Kate
– Jeanette
– Myself
Aim to provide great products
With good service and good advice
8. Capeweed
• Likes false breaks – soil temp. 15 deg
• Early rains with 3-5 weeks dry best
• Rarely germinates after a late break
• Seed remains in soil for years
• On surface lasts for 2 years
• Wrapped in wool improves germination
9. Toxicity of Capeweed
• accumulate nitrate levels high enough (2-4.7% dry
matter) to cause toxicity to stock especially after
spraying with hormone herbicides like 2,4-D
• Early season spraying in warmer temperatures and in
dull weather is associated with increased risk of
toxicity
• Avoid grazing with horses, pigs and young or breeding
stock. Animals that have suffered previous nutritional
stress appear to be more susceptible to poisoning
10. Symptoms of Poisioning
• Depression, loss of appetite, pale mucous
membranes, salivation, gasping, muscle
tremors, staggering, collapse, coma and death.
• Cattle may suffer rapid death within an hour of
exposure
11. Paterson’s Curse
• Germinates on false break
• Not a good competitor
• Can germinate with a summer rain
• Seeds at up to 30,000 seeds per sq metre
• Extremely toxic to horses
• contains compounds known as pyrolizidine
alkaloids
• the metabolites of which cause cell death
in organs throughout the body
12. Paterson’s Curse
• Liver damage is cumulative
• Grazing on it in years when there is little
• Then suffering when it is a big year
• Non-preferred grazing -- first green pick
13. Paterson’s Curse
• Contains damaging alkaloids
• Damages sheep livers
• Copper toxicity ----------- care
• Cumulative
• Plants have higher alkaloid levels
at flowering
14. ALLELOPATHY
Refers to the chemical inhibition of one species by another
These chemicals can inhibit root & shoot growth & nutrient uptake
Prevent other plants from using resources
15. Examples of Allelopathic Plants
• Examples are some gums (sugar gum), wattles, Casuarinas,
• Lucerne, clover, vetch and Patersons curse and capeweed?
16. What does this mean?
• These weeds will out compete pasture
• Leave bare ground in summer
• More potential for these two weeds
• Paterson’s Curse can produce 30,000 seeds
per square metre
17. Control Methods
• Control when the weeds are small
• Have some competition for bare space
• Plant competitive species
– clover, ryegrass
18. Control Methods
Spray-Graze
• sub-lethal doses of chemicals
• “sweetens” up weeds making it
attractive to stock
• Must graze heavily after 7 days
• Need good mix of other species
• Take stock off enabling pasture to
recover
19. Chemical Control
Broadstrike /Multitude
• 25g per ha – low rate
• Very “soft”, clover, lucerne, grass safe
• Add wetter
• Works best on sunny days
• Good on wild radish, mustards,
• Add wetter, oil
• Add Igran /Salvation for
increased control
20. Chemical Control
Trigrex – Nugrex – various
• Combination mixed product
• Great on smaller weeds
• Safe on clovers etc
• Graze after will improve control
• Stick to the above brands – different
solvents
• Wetter
21. Chemical Control
Agtryne
• Combined trybryne and MCPA
• Single rate – single product
• Great for heavy infestations
• Some clovers are effected
• Rates –
• Don’t add wetter!!! There is enough in it
22. Chemical Control
Igran/Salvation + MCPA
• Mix the rate to suit the weed size
• Start with 300+300 – move up to 500+500
as weeds get bigger
• Can be used alone if needed but MCPA seems
• To soften Salvation
• No Wetter
• Prefer Salvation as it has a new
cold stable formulation!!
23. Chemical Control
Metsulfuron – Brushoff, Ally, various
• Low rates --- Add wetter
Care needs to be taken cleaning sprayer
• Will kill clover – cannot plant pasture
as there is a residual
24. Chemical Control
• And of course Amine 625
• Only spray between April and August
• Must graze or weeds will recover
• 500 mls/ha
• Many brands
25. Summary
1. Identify the weeds
2. SPRAY EARLY – let the pasture take over
3. Have good pasture species to dominate
4. Don’t graze good pasture to leave bare ground
5. Plant alternative vegetation
SPRAY EARLY
26. MOST IMPORTANT
SPRAY EARLY
