New weapon to be used as an alternative to herbicides
A new research project, funded within the frame of FACCE SURPLUS, will explore the use of thermal waste heat from the harvester to destroy weed seeds. New methods to collect the chaff or weed will also be developed, in order to decrease weed pollution and use it to produce bioenergy instead.

BarPLUS has issued its first newsletter
The first newsletter from the FACCE SURPLUS project BarPLUS has just been released. The aim of BarPLUS is to identify genes, alleles and lines needed to increase barley plant biomass, without penalty on grain yield, in the agro-climatic and management scenarios predicted for 2030 in Southern and Central Europe.
