Extension and Education Activities

WAHRI places particular emphasis on communicating information to farm consultant and agronomist networks through involvement in a number of farmer events and general extension activities.  WAHRI workshops are available and can be requested by farmer or agronomy groups by completing the form or for more information on available workshops go to the link.

In addition to the workshop programs, WAHRI extends an invitation to farmer and agronomist groups who wish to visit us here at UWA. A WAHRI visit may include tours of the research facilities, discussion forums and visits to other research groups in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences

WAHRI has also been instrumental in developing RIM, a decision support tool designed specifically for evaluating various ryegrass management options. RIM is an acronym for Ryegrass and Integrated Management. It can be used to assess the likely biological and economic consequences of a wide range of ryegrass control strategies with particular emphasis on the impact of herbicide resistance.

WAHRI contributes to undergraduate teaching and research projects at UWA. For a list of previous and current undergraduate research projects go to the following link.
