WeedSmart Week brings together a wealth of knowledge and experience from local and interstate growers, agronomists, and technology experts – putting the spotlight on herbicide resistance and weed control.

This year, we held our annual flagship event in Mildura, VIC from the 30th of August to the 1st of September 2022. WeedSmart Week is designed to engage growers and advisors on the WeedSmart Big 6 messages.

The 3-day program consisted of a Forum day at the Mildura Arts Centre and farm visits in the Mallee region to see how forward-thinking growers are implementing the WeedSmart Big 6 tactics to minimise the impact of herbicide resistance on their businesses.

Ben White, Kondinin Group’s research manager, hosted the very popular technology and machinery field demonstration, where attendees had the opportunity to see and discuss cutting-edge innovations such as the latest sprayer and weed detection technology, and a range of harvest weed seed control implements.

WeedSmart Week offers a unique opportunity for growers and industry stakeholders to hear first-hand about innovative and practical weed solutions.
