Welcome Contents For more than 50 years Nufarm has been supporting Australian agriculture by developing new products and uses and expanding our service network. Nufarm is an Australian-owned company, committed to quality products designed for and tested in Australian conditions. No other supplier of crop production products can claim this fact. In this issue we reinforce the messages outlined in the current advertising campaign. In this campaign, Nufarm reminds growers of the value we deliver, ensuring farmers get the best outcomes when they choose Nufarm products. When you’re farming, timing is everything. When the spray window is open, farmers need to work quickly to maximise cropping yields. To help farmers get products delivered quickly, Nufarm has made significant investments in its service network. The latest expansion is at the Moree Regional Service Centre (see page 5). Crop protection products stored closer to the paddock ensure rapid delivery times. Nufarm provides so much more than a drum of chemical. Nufarm is committed to efficacious spray application and holds regular demonstrations and workshops for our re-sellers, farmers and agronomists (see page 4/5). Seeds are quickly being regarded as the engine room of agricultural production. Nufarm has an expanding seeds division that is bringing exciting new varieties to market for better yields and greater returns for farmers. Nufarm develops new products for the market every year. In this issue are details of the new Intervix ®3 herbicide and new uses for Penncozeb ®5 420SC fungicide. This season, more than ever, farmers should insist on Nufarm. Anything else is just UnAustralian.

Nufarm Plant Science – sowing for the future Nufarm has a highly skilled domestic and international plant breeding and field operations team, based in Horsham, Finley and Yarck in Victoria and offshore. This aerial photograph shows the plant breeding operation on Dahlen Quarry Road near Horsham, Victoria. In the past 12 months Nufarm has consolidated its interests in plant breeding and development with the acquisition of Victorian canola breeder, Ag-Seed Research Pty Ltd. Nufarm, under the banner of Nufarm Plant Science, now owns three plant breeding and development businesses - Nugrain Pty Ltd, Ag-Seed Research Pty Ltd and Access Genetics Pty Ltd. The company and its partners are involved in breeding and developing new wheat, barley, canola, oats and field pea varieties. Nufarm now has a significant germplasm base and a highly skilled domestic and international plant breeding and field operations team, based in Horsham, Finley, Yarck and offshore. “This is an exciting move for Nufarm in delivering the biology and chemistry to Australian farmers and in the mediumterm progressing developments internationally,” said Barry Cox, General Manager of Nufarm Plant Science. “Nufarm, through its subsidiary companies and licensing arrangements, is actively involved in the development and release of many of the new, elite canola varieties now available to Australian growers,” he said. “These include ATR Banjo , ATR-Summitt , Bravo TT and Warrior CL . “Nufarm plans to continue to release new canola varieties.” Through Access Genetics Pty Ltd, Nufarm has established relationships with SW Seeds and World Wide Wheat. Both companies have access to new and diverse germplasm pools not previously available to Australian growers. After five years of breeding and development work with these partners, Access Genetics Pty Ltd will offer a range of new plant varieties to Australian growers in 2006/2007. This will include a range of high yielding, high quality field peas and new wheat, barley and oat varieties. Many of these varieties are already in public trials and showing excellent results. 2006 varieties Variety Description Marketed by ATR Banjo A new early maturity, TT canola with very high oil yields and a blackleg rating of 7 ATR-Summitt New mid maturity TT canola Dovuro Ag-Seed Research Bravo TT New mid TT canola PlantTech SW Odiel Wheat Tickit Triticale Warrior CL Early maturity, strong rust resistant wheat Tahara replacement with excellent rust and CCN resistance New mid-late maturity IMI variety “Nufarm is always seeking ways to do things better,” said Mr Cox. “The way new plant varieties have historically been delivered to farmers can and will change over time,” he said. “Nufarm expects to be at the forefront of these changes.” The products denoted by this symbol are registered under Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) in Australia.
