Resistance Workshop – Merredin
Event Name
Resistance Workshop – Merredin
End Date
Duration
3 hours
Description
Preliminary results from a Western Australian research project suggest some grain growers are under-estimating herbicide resistance levels in cropping system weeds present on their farms.
Findings from the herbicide resistance testing, conducted by AHRI, and results from ‘resistance perception’ surveys, carried out by The University of WA and CSIRO, will be presented at coming workshops for growers and advisers in each of WA’s four port zones.
Dr Busi will present the results at the workshops, while CSIRO group leader for integrated agricultural systems, Rick Llewellyn, and The University of WA School of Agriculture and Environment research fellow, Fiona Dempster, will present the survey findings.
The Merredin event will be organised by the Merredin & Districts Farm Improvement Group and coordinated by agronomist Geoff Fosbery.
Information on herbicide resistance and weed management is available via WeedSmart, which has investment from the GRDC and commercial companies and delivers science-backed weed control solutions.
The WeedSmart ‘Big 6’ provides practical ways for growers to fight herbicide resistance by farming with diverse tactics within both summer and winter cropping systems.
