However, in red clover and multispecies swards, it is more difficult to control weeds in these swards. \n \nIn addition, he outlines some options for condoling ragwort and rushes also.\n \nFinally, Chris highlights the regulations as well as the health and safety aspects of springs and maintaining a buffer of 3 metres.\n \nFor more episodes from the Beef Edge podcast, visit the show page at:\nhttps://www.teagasc.ie/thebeefedge\n \nProduced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/sOijP5GJfyC4Db55cdiuLC4kRsO9WtUllrT_cRU3JSQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEwOTA0LzE1OTAw/NzI0MzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
