Alternative Strategy: A pre-emergent screening trial on second rotation sites to test efficacy of traditional first rotation herbicide prescriptions found the most effective prescription was the combination of simazine and mesotrione which allows for a 50% reduction in the use of simazine and give superior control of the predominantly broadleaved weeds found on 2R sites. Eucmix, containing no simazine also gave good control but is not suitable for all soil types.
