Aims

To identify the most effective herbicide brews to control fumitory.

Key messages
  1. Populations of fumitory are now exhibiting resistance to commonly used broadleaf herbicides, including Clearfield®.
  2. Avoid cultivation which promotes the germination of fumitory.
  3. In this trial, Precept®, Velocity® + MCPA LVE and Affinity Force® + MCPA Amine, were most effective in controlling fumitory. On-duty® and other Group B herbicides were amongst the worst performers.
