He worked with Bayer to get Sakura registered as quickly as quickly as possible. Condust random herbicide surveys 2005-2012 with a focus on a district each year. (GRDC funded) 2011 was NE Vic. Going back a second time to districts starting to see changes. Plant out seeds collected from surveys & do herbicide tests the following year. Trifuluralin resistance in SA is very high. NE VIC didn't change a lot but increase glean resistance. Over a 5 yr period west VIC saw a 17-fold increase. Also 16% resistance to glyphosate in west VIC.
Custom made application unit for applying herbicides. Fully enclosed & automated.
New canola chemistry being tested pre & post application, available in other countries (Europe?) Good pre & post on susceptible & resistant ryegrass. Some crop effect on canola pre-emergent application
