How to stop
resistant ryegrass
becoming a
monster.
Aramo’s® powerful, new generation
DIM molecule is making resistant
ryegrass very, very scared.
In the on going battle against resistant ryegrass, more and more agronomists and farmers are
recognising the powerful advantages of the 2nd generation DIM chemistry contained in Aramo®.
In fact, Aramo contains the most advanced chemistry within the selective grass herbicide category.
Research has shown that resistance can vary between the FOP and DIM members of Group A
herbicides. Populations resistant to FOP herbicides may still be susceptible to DIMs.
Trials conducted against ryegrass populations displaying resistance to FOPs have shown that, in
many cases Aramo is able to provide a high level of control over these populations.
Flexibility - a monster advantage.
Because Aramo has a wide window of application, and can be applied to weeds from 2 leaf to
full tillered, it offers great flexibility when cropping large areas.
As you would expect, best results will be achieved when the application is to smaller weeds i.e 2-3 leaf.
Rapid brownout stops situations turning ugly.
It's reassuring to know that Aramo is rapidly
translocated throughout the plant down into
the roots affecting the young, actively growing
tissue first.
This ensures rapid brownout of competitive
weeds and is the visible proof you need
to know the product is performing to
expectations.
Effective on all these horrors...
Help prevent all these annual weeds and problem grasses raising their horrible heads. Aramo
controls annual ryegrass, barley grass, brome grass, phalaris, wild oats, volunteer wheat,
volunteer barley, volunteer triticale and volunteer oats.
...and in all these crops.
Aramo should be your first choice for use in all these crops, including: Canola, Field Peas,
Subclover, Chickpeas, Lentils, Vetch, Faba beans and Lupins

Why more and more farmers
are turning to Dim Chemistry to
manage ryegrass resistance.
A comprehensive 14-year National study by
Charles Sturt University at Wagga in NSW, has
shown that annual ryegrass populations are far
less resistant to DIM chemistry, compared with
levels of resistance shown to FOP chemistry.
The latest chemistry within this DIM’s category is
Aramo, the only second generation DIM on the
market today!

Aramo, when applied at 300ml's, results in
market leading control of ryegrass spikes.

So we compared Aramo with market leader
Select, with research across Western Australia,
South Australia and Victoria, which showed
that Aramo provides superior control of

is widely recognised that controlling ryegrass
early in the crop establishment phase can have
a big impact on resultant yield and that means
more dollars and cents in your back pocket.

Why take the risk and experiment with anything else?
When Aramo has the full technical support of Nufarm, why experiment with less
advanced chemistry?
Add the outstanding results from extensive field trials conducted under Australian
growing conditions and the endorsement of leading agronomists and the problem of
resistant ryegrass suddenly becomes far less of a nightmare.
“The thing that stood out was Aramo's effect on ryegrass, but we've
also had reports that it gives quicker brownout which farmers like to
see.”

absolutely flattened them at fairly reasonable rates.”
