Ultro® Australian Trial results
Annual ryegrass
- In Australian trials Ultro® offered equivalent or superior control of annual ryegrass compared to industry standards.
- Ultro® provides consistent control of annual ryegrass for up to 3 months after application. Increasing the application rate of Ultro® also reduced variability of control.
Controlling annual ryegrass on lighter soil textures
Trials in Western Australia and the Victorian Mallee showed more consistent annual ryegrass control than industry standards, when applied at 1.1 kg/ha. Ultro® also provides good weed control under a wide range of soil textures, soil moisture and rainfall situations, compared with industry standards.
Annual ryegrass control 60 days after application

Brome grass
- Ultro® provided equivalent or superior control of brome grass compared to the industry standard pre-emergent herbicide, propyzamide.
- Higher rates of Ultro® application improved the level of control up to three months after application.
Barley grass
- Ultro® provided equivalent or superior control of barley grass in winter pulses compared to the industry standard.
- Increasing the application rate improved control further.
