Black-grass control in winter cereals with hoeing (OK-Net Arable Practice Abstract)

Abstract

Thanks to the use of the bladed hoe, strong-rooting grass weeds can be successfully uprooted even in heavier soils. Other problem weeds, such as cow vetch, hemp-nettle, windgrass, or burdock, can also be controlled with the bladed hoe. • Sow the winter cereal in October, in rows with spacing of at least 20 cm. • When the cereal is at the 3-leaf-stage, control sprouting weeds with 1-2 harrowing procedures. • After using the harrow and as the winter cereals begin tillering, root out the yet intact, well-rooted grass weed between the rows with help of a duckfoot-bladed hoeing device. The duckfoot bladed hoe may also be used in combination with the harrow
