  • GRDC Code: UOA1711-005RTX
    Cultural management for weed control and maintenance of crop yield
    In the past, many single factor studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of cultural weed control tactics in decreasing weed biomass and seed production in Australia. However, these studies have largely failed to integrate multiple weed control…
