Direct Seeded Viability

In Vidalia, Georgia, 11,000 acres of onions are 100% transplanted because currently there is no weed management program for direct seeding that is viable.

This study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of laserweeding for direct-seeded onions and evaluate the quality and yield differences between laserweeded and herbicide-treated onions.
