Abstract
Field studies were conducted at Mt Barker in 2010 and 2011 and Katanning in 2012 and 2013 to investigate techniques to reduce annual ryegrass viable seed set. The Mt Barker experiments included swathing with a commercially available sprayer kit attached and desiccation of the standing crop while at Katanning only desiccation was tested. Results in 2010 showed, on average, desiccation with diquat reduced the viable ryegrass seed production by 65%, and on average, desiccation or spraying on the swather with glyphosate reduced the viable ryegrass seed production by 45%
