Air-propelled abrasive grit can damage the perennial weed quackgrass
Canadian Journal of Plant Science 98 (4), 963-966
Abstract: New techniques are needed to control quackgrass in organic crops. With >2 applications of abrasive air-propelled (800 kPa) corncob grit to 15-cm-tall quackgrass tillers, regrowth was minimal at 5 wk after treatment. Abrasive grits may be effective tools to help manage perennial weeds in organic row crops.
