Flaxleaf fleabane is a difficult weed to control, but failing to manage it can have significant economic consequences. Its ability to germinate year-round and develop deep roots makes it especially challenging, particularly once established.

This research aims to identify optimal herbicide options for first and second sprays in a double knock strategy, and investigate the efficacy of camera sprayer rates and evaluate the economic impact of these chemical mixes.
