The project “Recommendations for effective control of wild oat and other widespread weed species in Latvia” supported by Ministry of Agriculture (2015-2018).
Aim: To obtain scientific data on weed populations in order to find out what factors influence weed population structure and density in Latvia and to develop recommendations for weed control under Latvian climatic conditions.
Project in collaboration with Institute of Agricultural Resources and Economics and Latvia University of Agriculture.
