Dock control in organic farming: biological and practical approaches
Mechanical and cultural control strategies for dock weeds in organic arable and pasture systems
or
Detail description
Control dock plants (Rumex spp.) on organic farms using evidence-based, organic-compliant methods. This FiBL guide details effective strategies such as targeted cultivation, mechanical removal, and cultural practices to manage resilient, deep-rooted docks that reduce crop yields and hinder harvesting. Based on current research and field experience, the guide supports sustainable weed control in arable and pasture systems.
