Blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), also known as “Slender Foxtail,” is one of the most persistent threats in cereal crops. It hits early, competing aggressively for moisture, nutrients and light during early crop establishment.
With widespread herbicide resistance, this outlaw is getting harder and more expensive to control. Left unchecked, it builds seedbanks quickly and returns season after season.
Here’s how you can stay ahead:
🔍Scout early in establishment phases and map problem patches
🎯Target known high-pressure fields with regular interventions
🕜Delay drilling where possible to reduce early competition
🧪Use stacked and integrated control, not herbicides alone Act early.
Once Blackgrass takes hold, it is costly to manage and difficult to remove. Have you seen Blackgrass in your fields this season? 👇
