weed science course
This course equips learners with essential weed science knowledge for temperate corn-soybean farming systems. Participants will gain skills to identify invasive weeds, map and monitor field infestations, create effective 2-3 season integrated management plans, and apply smart strategies including herbicides, mechanical controls, cultural practices, prevention, sanitation, and resistance management to safeguard crop yields and minimise long-term weed pressures.
