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
One year of full wild oat control reduced the wild oat seedbank to 8 seeds per square metre in 2010.
A selective post emergent herbicide or an early hay cut were the most effective strategies for reducing the wild oat seedbank.
