  • Aminopyralid: most susceptible plant to test compost

    Good morning all,

    This may have already been mentioned on the forum before and my apologies for that, I believe growing a susceptible crop in potentially infected compost is a good indicator of aminopyralid presence.
    what is the easiest/quickest test for the presence of aminopyralid or the most susceptible test crop to try?

    Thanks

      I wonder if fenugreek could work, too? It germinates and grows really quickly.

          Does each type of plant have different growing traits in the presence of aminopyralid or does everything grow slow and contorted?

              I use dwarf French beans but tomatoes are an early indicator too.

                Broad/field beans are usually suggested for a test.

                  thinking out of the box, would cress show the damage? just thinking that in terms of testing, the faster the growth, the quicker the result.

                    I think cress is a brassica, brassicas are not affected by aminopyralid, so I don't think it would be much use as a test?

                      Sweetcorn isn't affected by Aminpyralid as it is a member of the grass family. Aminopyralid is used to kill broad leaf weeds in grass/corn.
