Optimising weed control with crop row spacing
As a form of weed control in crops reducing row spacing can have a significant impact on weed populations. By reducing crop row spacing the biomass of the weed are reduced but what\u2019s even more important is weed seed numbers are dramatically reduced.\n\nThese were key messages delivered to grain growers at a Weedsmart conference where Paul McIntosh from the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative was a speaker. Also addressing the growers was a farmer from NSW who told of his experience with overcoming a serious weed issue on his property by reducing crop row spacing.\n\nChris Roche and Paul McIntosh pass on their experiences in this podcast.\n\nFurther information: Paul McIntosh AHRI Agronomist\n0429 566 198\npaul@pulseaus.com.au\n\nMore info:\nhttps://weedsmart.org.au/the-big-6/\n\nSubscribe: https://grdc.com.au/subscribe\nEvents: https://grdc.com.au/events\nGroundCover: https://grdc.com.au/groundcover\n\nFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/theGRDC\nTWITTER: https://twitter.com/theGRDC\nINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegrdc/\nLearn more about your ad choices.
