Aims
To evaluate the effect of long term management strategies on the wild oat seedbank and measure the efficacy of various control techniques.
Key messages
Two years of full wild oat control did not exhaust the seedbank to a manageable level.
A selective post emergent herbicide or an early hay cut were the most effective strategies for reducing the wild oat seedbank.
