Weeds remain one of the biggest challenges for sustainable crop production. The EU project, Oper8, has been working on an exchange of methods in alternative weed control in a network across EU.
Results from the project are now available on the Oper8 project website as factsheets, practice abstracts, demonstration videos, podcasts, newsletters, E-learning module and other materials.
