The GOOD project has developed a new toolbox to help farmers choose the right strategy for agroecological w**d control. This Agroecological W**d Management toolbox is now available online and free of charge.
What is the Agroecological W**d Management (AWM) Toolbox?
The digital AWM Toolbox is a Decision Support System that supports the user to reduce the use of synthetic herbicides and/or improve w**d management by combining different Agroecological W**d Management(AWM) strategies with cover crops.
What do you have to do?
You can register using the QR code or online via the website https://www.dss.goodhorizon.eu/
You should provide input on the conditions of the farm/region (location, main crop, targets, w**ds, w**d management practices, economic values) by replying to a few simple questions.
What should you expect to receive?
The AWM Toolbox will suggest the optimal cover crop(s) for the respective context, including also recommendations on:
• Available AWM practices to help
• further reduce w**d pressure;
• What to sow, when, why;
• What combinations are needed for the reduction or elimination of herbicide use;
• Impact on herbicide load reduction, production and w**d management costs, and sustainability indicators.
What else should I know about the AWM Toolbox?
• It is free!
• It is simple! It includes pictures and it is translated.
• It will take approx. 5 minutes to complete.
• You can download as many recommendations as you want.
• It includes >25 w**d management practices, >70 w**ds, >15 cover crops, 14 main crops, and multiple combinations!
