Preliminary variety x herbicide phytotoxicity trial results

Most growers have at some time experienced an unintended effect on their cane after spraying certain herbicides. The SRA weed agronomy team of Emilie Fillols, Allen Eaton and Tim Staier have been testing seven herbicides on eleven varieties, to check for any phytotoxic reactions. Phytoxicity simply means a toxic effect by a compound on plant growth.
