break crops

Six years of survey data taken from 184 paddocks spanning 14 million ha of land used for crop and pasture production in south-west western Australia were used to assess weed populations, herbicide resistance, integrated weed management (IWM) actions and herbicide use patterns in a dryland agricultural system. Key findings were that weed density within crops was low, with 72% of cropping paddocks containing fewer than 10 grass weeds/m2 at anthesis.
