Tillage Edge: Better weed control begins before emergence
On this week’s episode of the Tillage Edge podcast, Teagasc Crop Specialists, Ciaran Collins and Shay Phelan discuss the critical role of pre-emergence herbicides in managing both grass and broadleaf weeds.

Ciaran explains that achieving the best results depends on understanding the predominant weed species present in each field and matching them with herbicides that have the most effective weed control profile.
