Happy crops growing in the brand new @NSWDPI Wollongbar growth cabinets. Great to have the opportunity to be involved with some trials with state of the art, full climate control facilities.

In 2026 UWA will test for herbicide resistance in ryegrass seeds. Gr. 1 Axial, Clethodim Gr. 2 Intervix Gr. 3 Propyzamide, Trifluralin Gr. 9 Glyphosate Gr. 10 Liberty Gr. 13 Overwatch Gr. 15 Boxer Gold, Sakura Gr. 22 Gramoxone Gr. 23 Ultro Gr. 30 Luximax ($250 per sample)

MAKING PRE-EMERGENT HERBICIDE SELECTION EASIER! Selecting a pre-em herbicide can be challenging, particularly when seasonal rainfall is uncertain. Use our simple, colour-coded & free chart for both wheat and barley crops - find it here: https://t.co/J4PDSroKPG @SADroughtHub

Great field day at the Collie site: Integrated mgt of black/wild oats in wheat using PRE herbicides & crop competition. Need more research. Thanks to growers, agros, ⁦@GRDCNorth⁩, ⁦@GrainOrana⁩, ⁦@QAAFI⁩ ⁦@UQ_News⁩ ⁦@UQWeedScience⁩

Worth a read ( in the link) for those thinking about broadacre spraying via drones

Proud Dad moment

There has been some recent discussion of clethodim degradation in 'old' formulations that have been in storage for a few years. Below is another data set to support this observation from one of our 2025 field trials (phalaris in chickpea)

Saturday night vibes

Limited spots are still available for the Moama and GRDC Herbicide Behaviour Workshop (Wagga full). Come along to learn about how and why herbicides react in the field. Details: https://t.co/JKCidqjPkr

Great work @Qantas Cancelled leg 3 of my flight to Port Lincoln at last minute No reason given. Pathetic customer service Not acceptable to expect that next day travel will be fine. $400 later and 3 hours delay & hopefully i will be travelling with your competition

EP Growers & Agros Pre-em discussion & herbicide carryover trial walk 📍 Wed 23 July | 9am–12pm 🗺️SARDI Minnipa Ag Centre | Free + morning tea Thinking about coming? Please RSVP at https://t.co/2kFM9XpydS so we know how many handouts to print @SA_PIRSA @ag_eyre

And please bring along your 'problem' questions. I might not have all the answers, but want to understand where the data gaps exist.

SCU research team about to kick off a massive task to establish dose responses for a wide range of crops to an even wider range of pre-em herbicides, across several soil types. Pic below is Reflex to wheat - just as a practice to get the trial technique sorted.

Often hear industry saying certain pre-ems "don't leach & stay in the top few cm of soil" Data below from a 2024 field trial 4 common pre-ems (deliberately left nameless) 2 soils 0-15cm gray & 15-30cm white at days after application Similar trends with all products & sites

Griffith growers & agronomists Next Monday 30th June 1-4pm. Join me at the AgGrow Agronomy farm, for a pre-em discussion session and field trial walk. All welcome. Free event. RSVP's greatly appreciated for catering and printing handouts. More info https://t.co/um0oKdmgN2

Thanks to growers/agros, @GRDCNorth @congreve_mark, AMPS @QAAFI @UQ_News @UQWeedScience

An excellent opportunity for a senior research scientist to join a vibrant and growing business Appreciate reposts !! https://t.co/xiY0YRVKvd?

Trial walk 9am Thurs 19th @ Croppa Creek / Pally. Tyne v disc with pre-ems in wheat & barley Alternate pre-ems for phalaris in wheat and chickpea Non-paraquat knockdowns before chickpea RSVP & details

.@congreve_mark is running a series of @theGRDC herbicide behaviour workshops in July/August. If you or anyone you know is keen, register quick. They tend to sell out fast. Details & registration: https://t.co/gcUWN5yLOA @GRDCNorth @GRDCSouth @JohnCameronICAN
