Increasing wheat sowing rates for weed control: does it lead to lower yield or quality?
•
Grain Orana Alliance
In this podcast Maurie chats to us about:
- Non-chemical options for weed control using crop competition - it's cheap & relatively easy to do!
- Does increasing sowing rates lead to increased screenings?
- What happens to yield in dry years in the more marginal areas of the CW when you increase plant populations?
- What yield are you leaving in the paddock? Lower sowing rates often result in lower yields than higher ones.
