Episode description

In this podcast Maurie chats to us about:

  • Non-chemical options for weed control using crop competition - it's cheap & relatively easy to do!
  • Does increasing sowing rates lead to increased screenings?
  • What happens to yield in dry years in the more marginal areas of the CW when you increase plant populations?
  • What yield are you leaving in the paddock? Lower sowing rates often result in lower yields than higher ones.
