This project is funded by Northeast SARE: to examine the integration of cultural practices, cultivation, weed biology and OMRI herbicides. This is a one-day hands-on training program for agricultural educators and farmers interested in:
● Stale seedbed programs to reduce weed competition
● Continuous tillage influence on soil weed seed populations
● Multiyear cover cropping and impact on weed competition
● Basic weed biology (weed seed dormancy/emergence and perennial weed population dynamics) to assist farmers in weed control practices
● Precision cultivation including tractor mounted and manual implements
● Principles of flaming for weed control
● ORMI approved herbicide demonstrations including backpack sprayer operation for precision application
● Mulching techniques for effective weed suppression in vegetable crops
