Weed control is the botanical component of pest control, using physical and chemical methods to stop weeds from reaching a mature stage of growth when they could be harmful to domestic plants and livestock. In order to reduce weed growth, many "weed control" strategies have been developed in order to contain the growth and spread of weeds.

The most basic is ploughing which cuts the roots of annual weeds. Today, chemical weed killers known as herbicides are widely used, please contact us for specialist advice.

Aquatic Weed Control We have a number of sprayers and specialised equipment for all types of aquatic weeds. Site inspections and recommendations are given by our qualified agronomist.

Duckweed Removal and Control

This is a weed which is best controlled before it becomes established on a watercourse, large areas can cost many thousands of pounds to remove and may take several seasons to achieve. Seek early advice if you find duckweed is starting to accumulate. This is a rapidly increasing problem as growing seasons get longer and winters milder.

Hazardous & Invasive plants

Weeds can compete with productive crops or pasture, or convert productive land into unusable scrub. Weeds are also often poisonous, distasteful, produce burrs, thorns or other damaging body parts or otherwise interfere with the use and management of desirable plants by contaminating harvests or excluding livestock.

Weeds tend to thrive at the expense of the more refined edible or ornamental crops. They provide competition for space,nutrients, water and light, although how seriously they will affect a crop depends on a number of factors. Some crops have greater resistance than others- smaller, slower growing seedlings are more likely to be overwhelmed than those that are larger and more vigorous. Onions are one of the crops most susceptible to competition, for they are slow to germinate and produce slender, upright stems. Quick growing, broad leafed weeds therefore have a distinct advantage, and if not removed, the crop is likely to be lost. Broad beans however produce large seedlings, and will suffer far less profound effects of weed competition other than during periods of water shortage at the crucial time when the pods are filling out. Transplanted crops raised in sterile seed or potting [compost] will have a head start over germinating weed seeds.
