Control barley grass in LRZ farming systems

Control barley grass in LRZ farming systems

Barley grass infestations of cereal crops have increased in southern and western Australia. GRDC partners in these regions tested localised integrated weed management strategies at demonstration sites in key low-rainfall zones.

This publication captures the results of this research and on-farm practices that are working for growers.

GRDC published this factsheet in January 2023.
