Grass weeds in non-plough systems

Published: June 10, 2021, 6 a.m.

b'This week\\u2019s Tillage Edge discusses how grassweed control has become more important on all tillage farms and especially on non-plough based systems. \\n\\nControlling wild oats has become even more challenging with the emergence of herbicide resistance in a small number of populations in counties across the southeast. Increasing populations of sterile brome and canary grass has added to the control challenges on farm. \\n \\nThe Teagasc ECT project has been working with farmers through the country who have different establishment systems and the recent ECT webinar caught up with a number of these farmers who have converted to non-plough based systems and the questions and answers session is worth listening to again. \\n\\nWatch the full video of the webinar here: \\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJXMr9OvF-I \\n\\nFor more episodes and information from the Tillage Edge podcast go to:\\nhttps://www.teagasc.ie/crops/crops/the-tillage-edge-podcast/\\n\\nProduced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com'
