Maximising crop benefits and minimising weed burdens with smart phase farming (Advisers) Survey

Advisers Survey

This project will compare the paddock management practices of growers using pasture phases with growers that have little rotational diversity and correlating paddock management practices with the weed seed bank size in the WA wheatbelt. Seedbank evaluation on these selected farms will quantify the effectiveness of disruptive pasture phases in achieving low weed seed banks.

5.What are the most problematic weeds (why? Context) reported to you, in the cropping phase?

6.What are the most problematic weeds (why? Context) reported to you, in the pasture phase?

7.What do you think of serradella as a break phase in the cropping systems?

8.Would your growers consider a serradella break phase to reduce weed numbers? Why?

9.Can you think of different ways to profitably reduce weed seed set quickly?

10.What do you need to know about serradella to advise your growers regarding zero weed seed set achievement?

11.How have weeds changed over the years?

12.What constraints (diseases, insects, nematodes, weeds, herbicide residues, seed price) most limit serradella (pasture phase) production?

13.What would be the most beneficial part (Nitrogen, Nematodes, Weeds, Disease break, Rotation benefits, Yield) of a short term serredella phases?

14.What novel weed control options could be realistically applied during pasture/fallow phase to eliminate weed seed set?
