Planting of winter cereals is now underway, with good progress being made in the north-east, while things are moving a little slower in the south. 

As crops go in, attention soon turns to weed control. In recent years, growers have faced increasing challenges from grass weeds like annual meadow grass and Italian ryegrass, particularly as resistance to herbicides continues to develop. 

For this week’s Tillage Edge, Ciarán Collins is joined by Shay Phelan and Vijaya Bhaskar from Teagasc Oak Park to discuss how herbicide resistance is emerging, and to discuss the most effective control measures available to farmers right now.
