These two experiments aimed to evaluate a range of herbicides with different modes of action on prickly lettuce control, and to evaluate if a ‘double-knockdown’ technique is needed to effectively control mature prickly lettuce.
Aims:
To compare two methods for the establishment of pasture legumes (i) summer sowing where dormant hard-seed is drill sown into the paddock after the crop is harvested; and (ii) traditional sowing where scarified seed is drill sown after the break of the season and knockdown weed control.
