Glyphosate resistant fleabane and milk thistle add cost and complexity to fallow management. Northern New South Wales growers and advisers are invited to discuss the latest field ready research on managing these problem weeds.
Leading discussion will be ICAN senior consultants Mark Congreve and John Cameron. Results from recent new research that has attracted significant field interest in recent months undertaken by AMPS Research under direction from ICAN and funded by the GRDC will be discussed.
Topics include
- Understanding the biology and ecology that drive these problem species
- Integrating multiple tactics into a cohesive strategy, including pre-and post-emergent herbicides and camera sprayers
- Optimising the performance of different herbicides and tank mixes
- Unmet research needs that growers and advisers would like to see addressed
