Agronomy experts have highlighted the vital role that pre-emergence herbicides play in safeguarding cereal crops from troublesome grass and broadleaf weeds. Speaking on a recent episode of the Tillage Edge podcast, Teagasc crop specialists Shay Phelan and Ciaran Collins shared practical advice for farmers aiming to protect their newly sown winter wheat and barley.
Shay Phelan emphasised that extensive agricultural research consistently demonstrates pre-emergence treatments to be the most reliable defence against invasive grass weeds. He noted that securing these early foundations is essential as soon as the autumn planting season wraps up across the country.
