Project Summary
Main Objectives
In the UK, growers rely almost entirely on synthetic herbicides to control weeds cost effectively. However, the use of these products is coming under increasing pressure from legislation, climate change and market requirements, such as reduced pesticide inputs and maximum residue levels. This, combined with herbicide resistance, is having a significant impact on arable and horticultural sectors.
