Better Weed Control Begins Before Emergence

As soon as cereal planting is completed, attention turns to protecting crops and laying the foundations for strong weed control.

On this episode of the Tillage Edge podcast, Teagasc Crop Specialists, Ciaran Collins and Shay Phelan, discuss the critical role of pre-emergence herbicides in managing both grass and broadleaf weeds.

Shay highlights that research consistently shows pre-emergence herbicides are the most effective tool for controlling grass weeds.

Ciaran explains that achieving the best results depends on understanding the predominant weed species present in each field and matching them with herbicides that have the most effective weed control profile.
