Herbicide options for controlling amsinckia locations
Aims

To identify the most effective herbicide brews to control elongating amsinckia.

Key messages
  • Velocity®, Precept® and Affinity® are the best options for elongating amsinckia.
  • There is a wider range of effective herbicides to control amsinckia when they are small and actively growing than when they are elongating.
  • Trifluralin is very effective for controlling amsinckia, but weeds can still persist in the crop row where the trifluralin has not been applied.
