Managing ryegrass populations locations
Aims

To evaluate integrated weed management strategies for the long-term control of annual ryegrass.

Key messages
  • Attention to detail regardless of ryegrass control strategy, is important to ensure ryegrass seed set is minimised.
  • Ryegrass numbers can be reduced from very high levels by implementing successive years of control, regardless of the tactics utilised.
  • In favourable seasons low ryegrass plant numbers that are left uncontrolled have the ability to set prolific amounts of seed.
