Abstract
SummaryIn trials of borage (Borago officinalis L.) between 1988 and 1991, swathing resulted in substantially higher yields than desiccation with diquat or glyphosate. Earlier harvest resulted in slightly lower seed oil content. Optimum swathing stage for uniform crops was estimated as that in which youngest flowers on apical cymes with shed or mature seed were the first to the third from the cyme base (i.e. stage 5,1 to 5,3). In crops with low plant population density, in which production of lowest branches is not suppressed, assessment of swathing stage is likely to be difficult and may require sampling from lower cymes.
