Theme Group Weed Control
Weeds compete with crops for light, water, and nutrients, often resulting in lower yields and reduced quality. In the committee, we work on issues such as weed biology and the effects of various measures to keep weed levels under control.
If you want to participate in the weed control theme group meetings, you are most welcome to contact the chairperson and/or the secretary:
- Chairperson: Göran Bergkvist, SLU
- Secretary: Sven-Åke Rydell, Hushållningssällskapet (The Rural Economy and Agricultural Societies), Östergötland
