Aims
To assess the ryegrass control ability of crop rotation, in combination with pre- and post- emergent herbicides.
Key messages
Trifluralin was more effective at reducing ryegrass numbers in the cereal phase than in break crops.
There are more benefits from good rotation than improved weed control alone, but benefits (in this case additional nitrogen) may not be apparent until several years after the non-cereal break crop or pasture phase.
