Carlos showed skeleton weed containment cost benefit ratio at 1:5-9. Still worth doing the program. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock
This is pretty healthy prickly lettuce after 6 mm rain at Doodlakine. It must have found some subsoil moisture. Can’t even feed it to the sheep. New GRDC project considering best control options. Prof (Weed Science) Bhagirath Chauhan DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock
Glyphosate 570 2L, glyphosate 1L + Tordon 700mL or glufosinate 3.75L + Voraxor 100mL gave the best prickly lettuce control. But quite a few survivors or regrowth. Really hard to kill mature plants. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC Harmy DHAMMU
Collecting the prickly lettuce seeds without damaging the other heads - new GRDC project. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock Arslan Peerzada, PhD Harmy DHAMMU
Weed control at Pasturama, Manjimup 26 March 2024. Talking about management options from a @GRDC barley grass project. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock trybooking.com/events/landing…
How do different types of strategic tillage impact the management of ryegrass and great brome? A fantastic collaboration between DPIRD soil science and weed science, and GRDC.

Glufo 200 + 2,4-D LVE 680 fb Paraq (picture) or Glypho 570 + 2,4-D LVE 680 fb Paraq gave the best fleabane control in Esperance WA this summer. Grazing didn't impact seed set control.

How long does the London rocket and fleabane seed bank survive? Arslan Peerzada, PhD will let us know in about three years, in this GRDC Informed Weed Mangement project. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock
Just finished sowing London rocket, prickly lettuce and wireweed on this scenic corner of Wongan Hills, in our GRDC trial. Now to see how well pre-emergent combines with crop competition. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock Arslan Peerzada, PhD

London rocket disappears after min-till, knife point sowing, but it comes up like a lawn when seeds are spread on the surface. Need to find out exactly how this species responds to seed burial. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC Prof (Weed Science) Bhagirath Chauhan Arslan Peerzada, PhD
Good news-and good management. Pre-emergent herbicides standing up really well in WA. No resistance to Luximax and Overwatch, either. #AWC2024 DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock
A lot of resistance to post herbicides, but weed density in the field remains low at harvest. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock #AWC2024
Miranda Slaven highlighted electric weed control for resistant ryegrass, and spray topping. Check out the conference proceedings. icebergevents.eventsair.com/awc24/e-procee… #AWC2024 DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock
Foz won the agronomy CM Donald Medal. Really well deserved - he’s a walking (literally always walking 😁) encyclopaedia of agronomy. #agronomy24 DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock
Good news! Electric inter-row weed control using the continuous electrode-plant contact method will not harm the neighbouring crop. cambridge.org/core/journals/… Miranda Slaven DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC CRDC Wine Australia Zasso™
