STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL CEREAL CROP PRODUCTION
A key way to help your cereal crops reach their full potential in the long-term is by balancing productivity, profitability, and environmental stewardship using these key strategies:
Disease and Weed Management
Cereal crop diseases can significantly reduce crop yield quality. Effective disease management is a vital part of an integrated pest management plan. The responsible use of fungicides maintains crops health and productivity, while reducing resistance and protecting the environment.
Managing weeds like black-grass, ryegrass, and wild oat will help protect your cereal crop. Weeds compete with crops for light and nutrients and as little as five wild oat or eight rye-grass plants per m² can cause a significant yield loss. Pre-emergence herbicide application and cultural control strategies can help you manage weeds.

Successful cereal crop production starts with healthy soil. Nutrient-rich soil which has a good structure can encourage healthy plant growth so crops reach their full potential. Traditionally, cereal production has relied on the intensive use of chemical inputs which has led to soil degradation. Sustainable agriculture practices such as reduced tillage and crop diversification preserves soil health and fertility, reduces erosion, and improves water infiltration.

Plant Growth Regulators are synthetic compounds that regulate plant growth and development. They reduce the risk of lodging by shortening the crop, improving plant metabolism and also enhance nutrient uptake for healthier plants and greater yields.
