In this video, taken on 9 October at Ashley Dene, Derrick Moot describes in more detail the management we applied to the spring set stocked lucerne treatment for research purposes in order to develop appropriate on-farm guidelines. Weed control and the invasion of the problematic perennial tap-rooted and rhizomatous weeds which indicate the stand is in need of renewal are discussed. The use of weedy lucerne stands to provide salt and fiber for grazing livestock is also discussed (approx. 4 mins).
