Section Title
Sunflower Avian Control Use
Trial Information
The purpose of this project is to quantify the impact of Avian Control as a deterrent for Blackbirds in sunflower.
*Note: Avian Control was approved for minor use in August 2025 for a period of 1 year. Subsequent trials are dependent on renewal of use approval.
Summary
- The grower will plant either a confection or oil type sunflower hybrid.
- The grower will manage their crop as per their normal best management practices.
- The grower will apply Avian Control to 4 strips for a deterrent for blackbirds, alternating with untreated strips. An example is shown on the right.
- Strips should be full length of the field (minimum 1000 ft.) and width to allow for a full “pure” pass with combine header.
