On this week’s AHRI Snapshots we chat with Dr Gurjeet Gill. He’s an Associate Professor in Agronomy & Weed Science at the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine at University of Adelaide.Gurjeet, along with his colleague Ben Fleet recently completed some research that says if you don’t get a knockdown in, it’s not a problem. Delaying the sowing of wheat or barley to get a knockdown in some cases lead to a reduced number of grass weeds in crop, but the weeds in the later sown crop often set more seeds than the lower number of weeds in the early sown crop.This work was also covered in AHRI insight last week by Peter Newman - check it out here: https://ahri.uwa.edu.au/dont-delay-sowing-to-beat-ryegrass/
