To investigate the germination behaviour and seed dormancy of brome grass populations from the Victorian mallee and provide information on control.
Key messages
Brome grass is becoming more prevalent in the Victorian Mallee with adoption of no-till farming an dintensification of cereal cropping systems where few effective herbicides are available for control.
The ecology of brome grass has changed, making it more problematic to control in crops.
Aim for two consecutive years of control to deplete the seedbank of hthis troublesome weed.
