Dear Subscribers,


I am forwarding herewith a self-explanatory message from Geoffrey Meikle from the University of Fort Hare, South Africa. Geoffrey has been working on a herbicide roller for weed control in CA situations. 


Geoffrey would welcome input from CA-CoP subscribers who are working on weed control in CA.


Please respond directly to Geoffrey.

Dear Amir,

 

I have done some work on a herbicide roller for weed control in CA situations.  The roller seems to be a workable tool.  A short report on progress so far is attached. 

 

The roller is simple to construct.  I would welcome input from people working on weed control in CA.

 

Regards from
