to investigate other management tactics that may delay flowering in barley grass making it feasible to spray-top effectively without damaging medic seed set or alternatively to manipulate barley grass emergence to make the flowering window of all cohorts more synchronised. The research will demonstrate and validate how different crop and pasture sequences change weed density in mixed-farming system on the upper EP and provide further extension activities for growers to increase confidence to implement recommended management strategies to drive down barley grass.
