Knowledge Bank expanded: Fact sheets, Videos, Podcasts and more on Alternative Weed Control
Weeds remain one of the biggest challenges for sustainable crop production, and in the Oper8 project we have been working on an exchange of methods in alternative weed control in a network across EU.
The materials are available in 7 languages and have been produced by the operational groups that are involved in the project, farming organizations, applied researchers and academic institutions across Europe.
All the results are now available on Oper8 web page as factsheets, practice abstracts, demonstration videos, podcasts, newsletters, E-learning module and other materials.
You will find following materials:
-
Over 80 fact sheets in 7 languages
-
100 Practice abstracts
-
Over 50 demo videos
-
E-learning module
-
20 podcast episodes
-
Inventory page – bringing together more than 700 scientific publications and studies
-
Newsletters

This E-learning module about Alternative Weed Control, is designed to inform farmers, advisors, and policy makers about alternative weed management. The module describes the different types of weeds and the corresponding management practices, which are categorized into physical, chemical, and biological-agroecological strategies.
Each strategy is examined in detail, with examples drawn from different crops, specifically vineyards, open-field horticulture, and arable crops. In parallel, the module also highlights the project’s contribution to policy development. Upon completing the module, participants are invited to fill out the questionnaire in order to obtain their official Certificate of Completion.
🌿 This is our last issue of the Oper8 Weed Control Newsletter! 🌿
The Oper8 project has now come to an end after intensive work to identify and disseminate various alternative weed control methods across Europe.
We would like to thank all 8 participating partners across Europe, who have put in a tremendous amount of work to produce all the material and make it available to everyone.
Special thanks go to our funder, the European Union Horizon, for enabling us to carry out the project during the project period, and to everyone who participated in our webinars, field demonstrations, videos and podcast episodes. No one mentioned, no one forgotten.
The Oper8 website will remain public for the next five years so that everyone can share in our insights and lessons learned about alternative weed control.
Thank you for your attention and goodbye!
