This website (organicweeds.org.uk) aims to be a primary resource on weed management for organic farms, reporting on the latest weed information, weeding techniques and weed research. It aims to act as a focal point for farmers, growers, advisors and researchers to share their experiences with weeds. Read about the approach here.

The information on this website is free to use and develop. Below are a list of resources that you might find useful to to begin to learn about and develop your knowledge of any particular weed management topic. There are also various ways to get more directly involved with the work if you want. We are currently asking everyone how they would like to continure with the work. If you are interested please have a look at our proposal to Defra for continued funding and let us know what you think.


Feedback: feel free to make comments as you go along using the add comment buttons. Comments will generally appear at the bottom of the page on which you make them. You can also ask questions or develop discussions using the forums provided at Weed Views. Let us know what you think of the site and what additional features you would like to see by using the feedback page. If you would like to make any comments about weed research or how best researchers can help you with weed problems please download an assessment form (13 Kb pdf file) and send it back to us.
