This project will evaluate alternative herbicide strategies for controlling hard-seeded vetch in lentil crops. Field trials over two seasons will assess pre- and post-emergent applications and herbicide stacking to improve control. The results will provide practical recommendations to growers, supporting the profitability and expansion of South Australia’s pulse industry.
