Aims

To investigate:

  • the efficacy of the pre-emergent herbicide treatments on brome grass,
  • the weed competitiveness of different varieties at different row spacing configurations, and
  • the relative yields of the different varieties with the different herbicide applications and row spacing configurations.
Key messages
  • Good seed quality is essential for the successful adoption of No-Till farming systems.
  • Highest yields generally occur with row spacing narrower than 300 mm and the benefits of adopting wider row spacing needs to be evaluated against the costs (in terms of lower yields).
  • Narrow row spacing should not be used with currently recommended rates of pre-emergent herbicides for No-Till farming systems.
