What impact does drought have on weeds?

primefact cover
Primefact Number: 430    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: Feb 2007

The implications of drought on weeds are twofold: dry soil conditions prolong the longevity of the weed seed banks; and the import of fodder and grain potentially brings new weed problems onto the farm. This Primefact discusses:

  • longevity of weed seeds
  • factors affecting seedbanks
  • importation of weeds
  • control measures.
