About the Webinar
Cultivation is the foremost practice used to manage weeds on organic farms, but it becomes challenging with increasing weed populations. There are, however, tools and techniques that can improve cultivation efficacy, and more importantly, practices that can reduce the weed seedbank and thus the initial density of weed seedlings and surviving weeds.
