Short summary
The project develops and evaluates methods for controlling the amount of perennial weeds without pesticides and heavy tillage.
The Swedish part of the project is responsible for the task of investigating a system where the underground parts of perennial weeds are cut off with the help of a root cutter (Kverneland Group) and annual weeds are regulated with shallow cultivation and competition from the main crop and intercropped service crops. Experiments are carried out at SLU Lövsta field research station.
