This is pretty healthy prickly lettuce after 6 mm rain at Doodlakine. It must have found some subsoil moisture. Can’t even feed it to the sheep. New GRDC project considering best control options. Prof (Weed Science) Bhagirath Chauhan DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock

Glyphosate 570 2L, glyphosate 1L + Tordon 700mL or glufosinate 3.75L + Voraxor 100mL gave the best prickly lettuce control. But quite a few survivors or regrowth. Really hard to kill mature plants. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC Harmy DHAMMU

How do different types of strategic tillage impact the management of ryegrass and great brome? A fantastic collaboration between DPIRD soil science and weed science, and GRDC.

Just finished sowing London rocket, prickly lettuce and wireweed on this scenic corner of Wongan Hills, in our GRDC trial. Now to see how well pre-emergent combines with crop competition. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock Arslan Peerzada, PhD

London rocket disappears after min-till, knife point sowing, but it comes up like a lawn when seeds are spread on the surface. Need to find out exactly how this species responds to seed burial. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC Prof (Weed Science) Bhagirath Chauhan Arslan Peerzada, PhD
