Controlling ryegrass with different crop rotations locations
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.
