Pasture Spraying
Pastoral spraying
Spraying is an important tool for weed control in pastoral farming, as weeds can compete with pasture grasses for resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight, and can also serve as a host for pests and diseases that can damage livestock. There are several factors that need to be considered when using spraying in pastoral farming:
- Remove livestock from the area before spraying, and appropriate protective clothing and equipment should be worn by the operator.
- Choose the right time to spray. It’s best to avoid spraying when pasture grasses are in seed or when the weather is dry to minimise damage to the pasture.
- Target the specific weeds that are present in the pasture and choose a herbicide that is appropriate for those weeds.
- Consider the potential for herbicide residues on the pasture and take steps to minimise this risk. For example, avoid grazing the pasture for a certain period of time after spraying, or use a herbicide that has a low persistence in the environment.
- Minimise drift by checking weather conditions and using the right nozzles for the job at hand.

Applications
Pasture Renovation / Cropping
Many farmers grow crops to provide less feed deficit in summer or winter, often coupled with a pasture improvement programme. Regular pasture renewal from grass to grass through spraying and direct drilling has a good financial return through improved growth and productivity.
Bike / ATV
Spray larger areas, and quickly, all from your farm bike or ATV.
Large Scale Hand Gun Work
For control of brush weeds and heavy thistle burden. ATV, ute and tractor versions available.
Spot Spraying
Spot spraying refers to the targeted application of pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers to specific areas within a larger field or pasture. This method is typically used to control weeds, pests, or diseases that are localised in a specific area, rather than applying chemicals to the entire field or pasture.
