DEALING WITH WEEDS
‚ Conservation tillage must exclusively be kept to clean fields.
Perennial weeds, in particular, must be kept under control during the previous seasons.
ƒ Weeds must be dealt with within the framework of crop rotation.
Alternate cereal and dicotyledonous plant crops (peas, rape, beetroot etc.) as well as winter and spring crops.
Dicotyledonous crops give an opportunity to efficiently get rid of graminae; on the other hand, cereal crops allow
efficient action to be taken against dicotyledonous plants.
„ Sow stale seed beds during catch-crop periods to get rid of yearly weeds and regrowths.
As soon as the combine harvester has harvested the crop, a homogeneous, superficial and rolled "bed" of seeds
must be prepared, using fine soil, so that the weed seeds emerge as regularly and completely as possible. One week
before sowing, destroy the emerged plants by means of mechanical tillage or total non carry-over herbicide, such as
glyphosate or sulfosate. Aim to have no weeds at all at the time of sowing.
Avoid sowing too early in order to improve the stale seed bed's efficiency.
The longer the catch-crop period, the more efficient weeding will be. Sow trashy fields last. Trust the quick efficiency
and the emergence quality of the E
ASYDRILL to enable you to sow at the usual dates, without any risks.
† As soon as the sowing is finished, keep clean and strong crops growing.
Use clean seeds that are free of weeds and have good viability. The seeds must be placed to obtain a fast and
grouped growth, to create a crop that will be able to compete with weeds.
‡ Use a seed drill that causes little disturbance of the soil, such as the E
ASYDRILL .
The E ASYDRILL works exclusively in the sowing line, which avoids seeds that escaped the stale seed bed emerging.
Prefer wide spacing between rows, such as that of the Easydrill (16.6 cm). Use the seed drill’s rear harrow only when
necessary.
ˆ Monitor the growth of plant life in the crop during the growing period.
With conservation tillage, the usual weeds do not appear in the same quantities or at the same dates; additionally,
new species may appear. Prepare for this evolution by improving your botanical knowledge. Every week while the
crops are growing, walk through the fields, moving into plots of land in a continuous series of "Ws", identifying plants
and their respective development; write any observations down and trace the history of each plot of land.
‰ Use herbicides of new chemical categories every year.
Š Clean borders, fallows and crops before the heading.
Cut or shred weeds on embankments, in ditches and in fallows rather than treating them with total herbicide: some
perennial plants might not react to the product, and may then become difficult to get rid of. Some find it preferable
to grow rye-grass on borders: it chokes weeds and can easily be kept under control using a mower. During the
season, destroy the remaining localised weed growth spots using localised treatments, your usual sprayer, or by hand.
‹ Avoid scattering weed seeds when harvesting.
Start harvesting the cleanest plots of land. In weed-infested plots, harvest the cleanest parts first. Clean the combine
harvester well after harvesting weed-infested land.
Ploughing is a last resort if the techniques above are not efficient enough to get rid of annual grass or
dicotyledones.
