As weeds become increasingly resistant to the chemicals farmers have used to control them, new techniques are needed according to Dr Nicola Cannon at the Royal Agrcultural University. She's organising a weed event to show farmers what's possible.

Farmers in Herefordshire have been testing out an electric weeder as part of a event organised by the Soil Association鈥檚 Innovative Farmers project. It kills the weed by sending an electric current through the leaves to the roots.
