You may have noticed the hay pier? Tall with green seeds in spring, or brown-red seeds just before seeding in autumn. Although the hay mole blends into the city image, or the meadow and field landscape, it is the most troublesome weed in Norway. Why? He is almost impossible to get rid of. – If I had to name the most difficult weed species, H\u00f8ymole would come first, says Lars Olav Brands\u00e6ter, professor of weed control at NMBU. And now it is likely that there will only be even more of him. H\u00f8ymole H\u00f8ymole is an umbrella term for species such as Byd\u00f8ymole and Krush\u00f8ymole and Vanleg h\u00f8gmole. The seeds can also survive up to 80 years in the soil before they germinate. H\u00f8ymole is a perennial plant-bound species. In the first year, the seed becomes a leaf rosette that overwinters. In the second year, the plant blooms and sets seed, while the root lives on. This is how the plant managed to spread. The plant has a long lifespan. Extremely challenging Hanne Bjerkvik is a farmer from Nordland, but now lives in Western Norway. Both in the north and in the west, she has seen a lot of the troublesome weed. – The high mole is extremely challenging to handle. He can spread something crazy every year, she says. The farmer says it affects the health of the soil. And that is not good news. The quality of the fodder to be used in the winter will be poorer. If the farmers do not get their second mowing either, they are left with significantly less feed than they need: Bjerkvik himself tried to avoid spraying for the longest time. But in the end she had to throw in the towel. It was simply too much high pier. – It is the only possibility for us to get together. For us, we almost have to have a school class of a volunteer group to overcome the high tide. Weeds on the side of the road. Photo: \u00d8ystein Otterdal \/ news More of it The plant is well adapted to wet and packed soil. And if there is one thing that is certain, it is that there will be more wet and hard-packed soil. Firstly, the weather is getting wetter. Secondly, there are fewer and fewer farmers in Norway. Those farmers who are still farming an ever-larger area. Then they need bigger machines. They press the soil down and make it hard. The hardy plant is a specialist for growing in meadows and pastures. 70\u201380 percent of Norwegian agriculture is just that. And it does better than the plants that the farmer had intended to live in his field. – You can often see high embankments in tractor tracks several years after the tractor has driven there. The grass dies, but the hay bale does not, says NMBU professor Brands\u00e6ter. The seed can be stored for decades. Farmer Hanne Bjerkvik is also aware that larger gardens and larger machines can cause more weeds to grow. – The seed can be stored in the soil for several decades. If you plow in an area where these are stored far down in the ground and turn the soil, you can get even more next year. – If you have cattle that you feed with winter fodder that has haymole in it, the seed will pass through the cow and come out in the manure. When you spread it on the meadow, the H\u00f8ymolen comes out again. So what can one do? Change in operations WEED EXPERT: Lars Olav Brands\u00e6ter, professor at NMBU. Photo: Privat Of the weedkillers used in the meadow, a large part is the special agent against hay moth. But there are also non-chemical measures, says Professor Brands\u00e6ter. – Crop rotation can be a good measure, but there are not all places in the country where it is an alternative to grow grain where one usually grows grass for the animals, he says. Knut Alsaker in the Norwegian Agricultural Association says that haymole is known as a plant that has good conditions to outcompete grass plants when he has good growing conditions. Perhaps you should look at conditions during cultivation. They recommend spraying with weed killer to get rid of the weeds. In addition, the soil must be dried up as much as possible before driving out. – As the summer has been this year, it has been very difficult. It is a bit of a challenge to play on teams with both climate and biology. – The relationship afterwards becomes much worse. Then the weed plants can rule more alone. If one plows the soil again and sows again, there may be a solution. But the meadow should be as dry as possible before driving out. In addition, the weight of the equipment one drives should be as little as possible. – The fact that we get a lot of weeds can be a symptom that the conditions for cultivated plants are not quite optimal. Perhaps we should look at whether there are things we can do with the cultivation? he asks.
