All you need to know to succeed with weed management in lucerne.


This chapter outlines the principle of integrated weed management in reference to weed control in both seedling and established lucerne stands. Consideration is given to description of major weeds of lucerne.
Weed control is an essential factor for both establishement and the subsequent productivity of lucerne stand. Weeds can reduce the quality, yield and useful life of a lucerne stand.
An effective weed management strategy may involve the utilisation of several methods of weed control.
This approach is preferable to the continuous use of any single method as this may lead to weeds developing resistance to or escaping that method.
