Scoping study for sustainable broadleaf weed control in cucurbit crops
The project involved a review of Australian and international literature, a national survey of growers, a field trip to ground-truth the research findings, and an informal survey of chemical distributors to identify current and potential herbicide options. The goal of this scoping study was therefore to evaluate the impact of weeds in these crops, summarise the various weed control options currently used, and identify any innovative approaches to weed control for extension to the industry.
