Adjustment of Weed Hoeing to Narrowly Spaced Cereals
Agriculture (Switzerland), 2018 Weed hoeing can be successfully performed in wide row crops, such as sugar beet, maize, soybean and wide spaced cereals. However, little experience is available for hoeing in narrow cereal row spaces below 200 mm. Yet, mechanical weed control can pose an
