Our improved understanding of the relations between soil properties and blackgrass seedlings could allow farmers to use pre‐existing or suitably supplemented soil maps as a starting point in the creation of herbicide application maps. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Patches of blackgrass seed heads within a field are smaller than the seedling patches, suggesting that techniques for patch spraying based on maps of heads in the previous season could be inherently risky - we present an alternative based on soil maps onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Research by Rothamsted Research has put a figure on the cost of herbicide resistance in black grass. In total, ‘Western Europe’s most economically significant weed’ costs the UK nearly £400m and 800,000 tonnes of lost harvest every year. #IYPH2020 (Thread)

I second this. Huge thanks to the Rothamsted Research glasshouse staff for keeping our plants going through lockdown. Means more #blackgrass research to come 👍🏻

Human waste has become an unlikely essential tool for understanding the coronavirus - in fact, a Natural Environment Research Council project has led to a national surveillance system of sewage to detect outbreaks. Find out more here: orlo.uk/8pFrx #TacklingCoronavirus #WeAreUKRI

No evidence has been found that blackgrass is resistant to glyphosate, BUT diff populations respond differently. High levels of glyphosate use is, however, causing a loss of sensitivity - continued use could open the door to resistance. Rothamsted Research David Comont
