Re: A bit of crop protection

Some pics for you flower lovers ...

"Salvation Jane" also known as "Patterson's Curse" growing in the mid-rows of a vineyard.



Known as "Salvation Jane" as it is a stock feed weed which sheep and cattle will eat and it will grow with minimum moisture and is often the only feed available in a drought.

Otherwise known as "Patterson's Curse" as it is a weed and there is better stock fodder and it can infest paddocks and compete with better grasses.

It also when mature irritates bare skin if brushed against, but not badly.



Mowing it down as a flatter surface in the vineyard increases air flow and reduces frost risk on cold Spring nights.

Also mowing down in preparation for spraying with a herbicide to conserve moisture for the vines.
