Implementing new technologies for weed control in arable crops in the integrated cropping system Project leader Viktorija Zagorska Team of project Jevgenija Ņečajeva Gundega Putniece Guna Bundzēna Duration 2020 - 2022 Research focus 4. Development and adaptation of technologies for obtaining high-value agricultural and forest products, as well as in veterinary medicine Source of funding National grant Project partners Farm “Vilciņi 1”Inga GrīnfeldeSindija Liepa Description of project The aim of research To test the effectiveness of the mechanical weed control performed using modern equipment and the possibility to reduce the soil seed bank, to reduce the use of chemical herbicides in broad beans and winter wheat. The tasks of project: To test two modern methods of mechanical weed control: (1) interrow cultivator equipped with an optical system to protect crop rows, implemented in winter cereals and broad beans(2) rotating harrow (weeder), a technology that reduces damage to the crop and can be used to control weeds both immediately after sowing and at the early crop development stages in broad beans and winter cereals Results Assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions and energy inputs applying different weed control methods for wheat growing // Agronomy Research.
