This session will explore Electric Weeding in Organic Perennial Crops, a promising solution for one of the most persistent challenges in organic fruit and berry production: effective weed management. In this engaging webinar, which took place on January 14, 2025, researchers from Oregon State University, University of California Davis, and Cornell University will share the findings of their latest experiments with electric weeding machines in organic blueberry and orchard crops.
What You’ll Learn:
- The effectiveness of electric weeding against various common weeds.
- Impacts of electric weed control machines on soil health and crop performance.
- Economic insights and safety considerations for adopting this technology.
