Post-emerge weed control and aphid control in winter cereals
Category: Government & Organizations

Description:

Conor Kavanagh, a Teagasc tillage advisor in Tipperary, joins Michael on this week’s Tillage Edge to discuss weed control strategies in winter cereals.

 

Michael also chats with John Pettit, a Teagasc tillage advisor based in Wexford, about BYDV control strategies.

 

Conor first explains that it’s important to apply post-emergence herbicides as early as possible, as they’re far less effective on grass weeds when applied late. 

 

John notes that, for now, the approach to controlling aphids in BYDV-tolerant varieties remains the same as for non-tolerant ones, though ongoing research is expected to provide clearer guidance on future strategies.
