Growers facing difficult black-grass can turn to a new source of information: the Bayer CropScience TaskForce website.

Launched this week, the site is a knowledge hub containing a wealth of information to help farmers and agronomists understand black-grass, and how to tackle the number one weed in wheat crops.

“Information about controlling black-grass is scattered throughout the internet,” acknowledges Chris Cooksley, combinable herbicides campaign manager at Bayer CropScience.  “The TaskForce website pulls it together in one, easy-to-use place.”

Hosting a mix of videos, texts and the latest updates from @DrBlackgrass – Bayer’s unique black-grass information Twitter feed - the TaskForce website is fully searchable and can be found at www.bayercropscience.co.uk/bgtf.
