WAHRI Workshops

Workshop: Managing herbicide resistance for long-term profit

A workshop package is available for delivery to farmer groups that offers a highly interactive way for growers to develop profitable local strategies for resistance management. Using the Resistance Integrated Management Model (RIM), the workshop is available in the Topactive format for delivery to growers throughout the southern cropping zone.

A resistance management extension package

This project involves the development of an extension package that integrates existing weed and herbicide resistance research knowledge. The information is presented in a format that is suitable for advisors, extension agents and farmers. The materials support a 'cropping for long-term profit' active-learning workshop program that incorporates use of a Resistance Integrated Management computer simulation. The workshop program and accompanying materials can be delivered by WAHRI to extension networks for use with farmer clients.

The delivery of new and existing integrated weed management computer packages

In response to user feedback, a RIM model incorporating wild radish management and a multispecies model (ryegrass and wild radish) is being developed for extension to agronomists, advisers and growers. When fully developed and validated these new models will be packaged and promoted for use as resistance management decision support tools. The new packages will offer more relevant decision-support analyses and workshop opportunities by incorporating the two major weeds in Western Australian cropping. The existing RIM model continues to be developed, promoted and distributed. More on RIM

Herbicide resistance workshops for agronomists

A major proportion of WAHRI's extension activities are targeted at extension agents. These agents include commercial and public agronomy teams. To build on previous workshops, new resistance management training workshops for commercial and public agronomy extension agents have been developed and delivered. The workshops are tailored to address specific topics, arising weed management issues, and include the latest research findings.
