Short summary
The project aims to develop strategies where root cutters, mainly the horizontal root cutter (Kverneland Group), are used as part of an integrated strategy to regulate the amount of perennial weeds in cropping systems with minimized tillage.
Cropping system experiments are carried out at farms and at SLU's field research station at Lövsta.
