New technologies to manage Black Grass
Working with 5 local farmers, the Aura Innovation Centre is working to reduce the carbon footprint of black grass management. Currently a major problem facing cereal growers in the UK, experts at the University of Hull are exploring new technologies and best practice to come up with improved solutions in keeping black grass at bay.
