Integrated weed management in Australian cropping systems

Integrated weed management in Australian cropping systems

The GRDC has and will continue to investigate the most effective integrated weed management tactics for the grains industry.

This research will help inform grower decision-making and equip them with the knowledge and tools to increase on-farm profitability and productivity in an environment of increasing herbicide resistance.

Transforming research outcomes into on-farm management strategies, like the revised and updated Integrated Weed Management (IWM) manual, is designed to guide and support growers and advisers in tackling this major constraint to farm business profitability.

The manual provides information on the latest tools and techniques to help manage current weeds and weeds of emerging economic importance, and at the same time maintain our arsenal of herbicide modes of action into the future.
