Had an amazing time at #InnovationGeneration in Adelaide as a #DPIRDWA Grains' Rep! Met inspiring young growers, learned about AI-powered farming, discussed diversity, carbon emissions, hydrogen, & witnessed AgTech revolutionising the industry. Exciting times ahead!🤞 #IG2023

To truly understand weeds, one must first embrace the art of hand weeding. 😁 #BeAWeed

This year's study involves examining the impact of various soil amelioration implements on vertical and horizontal movement of simulated weed seeds using colored plastic beads. P.S. Glad I skipped majoring in soil science – my hands thank me for avoiding the 'core' of the issue!

Check out the media statement for our latest project, a co-funded investment by #DPIRD and #GRDC. We're diving deep into pre-emergence herbicides' efficacy following soil amelioration to tackle noxious weed species. Key takeaway: Don't rely solely on PRE. agric.wa.gov.au/news/media-rel…

🌱Great turn out for the weed ID course today! 🌱 After learning taxonomic basics and the ID process with Andrew Storrie, attendees were challenged to ID a wide range of weeds with help from the #WSWA and DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock staff 🌾

The next thrilling chapter of your favorite show, "The Adventures of Weed Seed Bank Survival!" #DPIRDWA #GRDC

Exciting times at the Australasian Weeds Conference (Australasian Weeds Conference). The DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock’s weeds team presented our latest research on electric weed technology and deep tillage strategies under no-till systems, exploring their impact on weed dynamics and management. #AWC24

What an inspiring opportunity to attend the Drought Resilience Showcase hosted by the South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub! So much exciting research happening in drought research. #WAdroughthub

Summer Weed Control✅ Our Narrogin trial on brome grass, supported by #GRDC, is in its 2nd year! #DPIRD's Dr. Harmy DHAMMU, with Facey Group, is testing integrated weed management—evaluating crop rotations, herbicide technology, and input levels vs. continuous wheat. Stay tuned!

Brome Grass Management in WA: Year1 Results Barley (AX & CL) at Highbury reduced BG seed set (98%), outperformed lupins at Jibberding (79%), and vetch & chemical fallow nearly eliminated seedset at Cape Burney—wheat struggled. More here: agric.wa.gov.au/newsletters/pw… #WeedWarriorsWA

Research on barley & brome grass control! DPIRD trials, led by Harmy DHAMMU with Facey Group, show CoAXium & Clearfield barley outperform standard wheat herbicide programs, achieving 90-100% control of barley & brome grass. Read more in Farm Weekly: farmweekly.com.au/story/8924553/…

Barley Systems Beat Weeds!👊🌿😵 CoAXium® & Clearfield® barley systems were more effective in managing barley grass & brome grass than a standard non-Clearfield® herbicide combination used in wheat. New research in 2023 & 2024 by DPIRDWA, supported by Facey Group, shows

Day 1 of WeedSmart Week 2025 Great to see growers more open to new tech and confident in managing resistance with a mix or rotation of strategies. Lots of practical insights today around resistance, soil constraints, and the Big 6 in action. #WeedSmartWeek #Gero2025
