Aims:

To make full use of in-crop rainfall, stored soil moisture and nutrients, and prevent weed seed contamination, the control of weeds in a pulse break crop phase is essential. Currently, herbicides are the primary method of weed control in broadacre cropping systems. However, there are limited options for broadleaf weed control in pulse crops, as … read more
