Cirsium arvense management with electrical weed control and clopyralid

Key Points

• The aim is to assess the effectiveness of electrical weed control (EWC) and its integration with clopyralid in managing Cirsium arvense.
• Evaluated the transient control of Cirsium arvense using electrical weed control.
• Integrated the use of clopyralid to improve management outcomes.
• Highlighted the need for multiyear studies to assess long-term effectiveness.
• EWC provided initial control of Cirsium arvense.
• Combining EWC with clopyralid enhanced overall control effectiveness.
• Further studies are recommended to evaluate long-term results.
