New AWRI 2023/2024 Dog book (Wine Grape Growers)

Link to latest Dog Book: https://www.awri.com.au/wp-content/uploads/agrochemical_booklet.pdf

New active constituents

  • cyflumetofen
  • flazasulfuron
  • fluoxapiprolin

Key points

  • New herbicide activity group classification: The alphabetical classification for herbicide activity groups is being replaced by a numerical system. Both systems will be displayed until 2025 when the new classification system will be fully implemented.
  • Label permitting, a 30-day withholding period for all herbicide active constituents is recommended. If weed control is required within 30 days of harvest, contact your winery/grape purchaser prior to spraying.
  • Avoid spraying some types of foliar fertiliser closer than 60 days before harvest, as wine quality might be affected.
