Best Practice Guidance Notes for Integrated and Non-chemical Amenity Hard Surface Weed Control
A five year Defra funded project “Development of zero and minimal herbicide 
regimes for controlling weeds on hard surfaces and determining their emissions” aimed to develop a weed control programme for pavements and roads (amenity use) which minimises risk to the environment (in particular, water quality) compared to using herbicides alone, while still controlling weeds to an acceptable standard. There is more information about the Weeds project in the Resource Efficiency for Crop Production current projects area on this website.
