We are accepting weed seed samples to conduct comprehensive resistance tests in 2027 for ryegrass, wild radish, barley grass, brome grass, wild oats and capeweed.
From 150 annual ryegrass samples, @robbert115 found no resistance to a tank mix of trifluralin and pyroxasulfone.
Help keep herbicide resistance at bay by using as many weed control tactics as possible! buff.ly/yq41CSD💧🚜🌾

Most effective treatment for wild radish in 2026 resistance testing screening. What is it? Let us know, have a guess below in the poll…
For pots inspection send me a DM. In two weeks all radish, ryegrass, oats is ready to be seen (all together 50 herbicides tested)
We made this calculator to help you make informed decisions about adopting spray tech - let us know what you think. How can we improve it
The update you've all been waiting for...
Our new Boomspray Investment Calculator is now available for download! buff.ly/yCD8pVt
This interactive tool allows you to input data from your own farm, to compare different spray tech options and find the right fit for you!

Declining clethodim efficacy in canola & pulse-based rotations can be addressed with increased diversity. Join Greg Condon & Chris Davey talking to @becsta1984 & @PBoutsalis to discuss strategies to slow clethodim resistance.

Looking to collect samples of resistant weeds this harvest, the @resistance_test team provide examples of how to deliver these to the lab for testing.
If you suspect you have weeds that have evolved to avoid harvest weed seed control by shedding seeds or some other mechanism, please get in touch with @Mike_AHRI from AHRI by sending a pin to his mobile phone and he'll test them for you @WeedSmartAU
Still battling stubborn weed patches despite using harvest weed seed control? 🤔
Weeds may be adapting to evade interseption.
Send a pin to AHRI so they can be assessed. @AHRI_Team @GRDCWest @peterdnewman
We'll be visiting Austin at Smart's farm on day 2 of Weedsmart week next week in the Chapman Valley. Great podcast from an excellent farm manager on an amazing farm.

You wake up tomorrow and you can’t use glyphosate or paraquat as both are fully banned.
What would you do in your 2025 wheat crop to knock-down (KD) or simply control ryegrass?
Please comment w/ other suitable options ? Mixes of IBS dry / wet, EPE, crop comp, graze crops?

With the price of new machinery this is looking like a good option well done mate 👌
Some more awesome work by Roberto. Good to know we have options to kill paraquat resistant ryegrass - albeit expensive - but at least it's possible @WeedSmartAU
