Qld growers & Argos, do you have Phalaris in your paddock? Do you want to host trials on its management in wheat and/or chickpea? Pl contact me at 0427 923 272. UQ team will be responsible for planting, spraying, harvesting and cleaning. Thanks. @GRDCNorth @QAAFI @UQWeedScience

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. MS Swaminathan, former IRRI Director General (1982-1988). He was awarded the first World Food Prize in 1987 for developing and spearheading the introduction of high-yielding rice varieties into India during the '60s

@dirtwork69 Seems Giant rat’s tail; very nasty weed

@meggsiek Annual ryegrass

@BSChauhan76 @PaulMacAHRI_PUL @UQWeedScience What weed is it Bhagirath?

Folks careful. This nasty weed has entered QLD; near Norwin. Looks like it will spread with water; cotton fields nearby. Possible Gly R. ⁦@PaulMacAHRI_PUL⁩ ⁦@UQWeedScience⁩

@congreve_mark @BSChauhan76 @MaurieStreet Similar results for WMG (another Chloris spp) in 2015/16 (not published though)

Very rare to truely be able to demonstrate synergy. I only know of 2 or 3 other examples. Great work @BSChauhan76 All resulting from an initial observation from @MaurieStreet several years ago.

@CEBuddenhagen @BSChauhan76 Yes

Metsulfuron R goat weed (roadside vs sugarcane from Ingham). S. bio type controlled at 1.25 g vs no control of R bio type at 20 g. ⁦@UQWeedScience⁩

@jenicka13 Seasonal expansion

@BSChauhan76 @UQWeedScience Cool but not good for crops.

Summer annual ryegrass (Oct emerging plants producing spikes in 6 wks). This population is resistant to Gly, so will be a bigger problem in RR cotton and fallows. ⁦@UQWeedScience⁩

@ChristosDamalas Lolium rigidum from cotton fields or along water channels

@BSChauhan76 @UQWeedScience Lolium multiflorum? Lolium rigidum? From wheat fields?

@ARCHweedscience What is that, Vipan? Male/female?

That one 👇 in million pigweed ⁦.

@OurWeeds @ajayhort @IowaWeeds Congratulations Ram

After years of research, months of procrastination, and weeks of writing, I finally defended my PhD Dissertation. Thank you everyone who involved throughout this journey. #phdlife #academia @pjha_ISUweeds @AlexisMeadows22 @BennettAveryAg @aus_schleich21

@ChandrimaShyam Congratulations Dr Chandrima Shyam.

Successfully defended my Ph.D. work today...😎🥳🧑‍🏫👩🏾‍🏫

@s_adam5297 Thanks Sam. I was looking for a more effective adjuvant than Banjo, if there is. I will try 4-5 with different rain period

@UQWeedScience Banjo or supercharge elite should ALWAYS be added to Sempra as per label directions

Dear Argos/chem rep, Which adjuvants (or any product) can increase rainfastness (halosulfuron/Sampra)?

@congreve_mark Thanks Mark.

@UQWeedScience High surfactant crop oil concentrate (e.g. Uptake, Hasten) likely to get more into the leaf faster than labelled non-ionic surfactant. Avoid silicon surfactants or high rates of NIS as they will probably increase potential for wash off.

@OurWeeds Rama, can it select only weeds and not the crop

Added one more tool, Weed Zapper to our tool box for waterhemp management.

@sachin__dhanda Sachin, look beautiful. Technical: if they are beauty then they are not weeds. If they are weeds then they are not beauty.

The beauty of weeds...

@vaibhavphd @BSChauhan76 Yes this study is to understand the seasonal expansion of this summer weed in winter crops

@BSChauhan76 @UQWeedScience The weed science needs weeds on the field. Hence , I hope you won't uproot the weed in this study sir. All the best for the study.

Feathertop Rhodes grass growing with wheat (both emerged at the same time); I doubt the weed will survive the winter but let’s see @UQWeedScience
