With the future of pesticides becoming a hot topic of discussion, it's more important than ever to use chemicals alongside non-chemical alternatives to create an integrated approach to weed management that is both effective and sustainable. You’ll walk away with the knowledge of non-chemical weed control options available to you and be able to weigh up the pros and cons of each.
