User experiences

The cotton insecticide and defoliant aid, Canopy®, hasproved its worth in helping manage a stonking "5 ½bale" (13.45 bales/ha) crop on Corish Farms' 'Yambacully'property at Goondiwindi during 2011. 

The Cotton Catchment Communities CRC 'On FarmUpdate' for November 2011 has highlighted the importance of petroleum spray oils (PSOs) in controlling pests without disrupting beneficial insects in cotton crops. 

One of the pioneers of using spray oils in Integrated PestManagement (IPM) in cotton, Peter Glennie of "Norwood", Moree, is a firm believer in maintaining soft, but effectiveoptions in controlling insect pests. 

St George cotton grower, Robert Gracie of 'Katoota' is one of a growing number of growers who have achieved effective pest control using the Caltex Precision Spray Oil™, Canopy® as the basis of his spray program. 

Cotton growers are being urged to prepare for higher thannormal pest pressure and potential disease outbreaks, including Cotton Bunchy Top and Silverleaf Whitefly, in this season's cotton crop.
