Using population genetics to understand weed movement in the context of area wide management
Herbicide resistance is a growing threat to agricultural production with increasing numbers of weed species becoming resistant to key herbicides. […]
Grower attitudes and practices toward area-wide management of cropping weeds in Australia
The mobility of weeds, use of biological controls and spread of herbicide resistance mean that weed management is a landscape-scale […]
Meanings, materials and competences of area-wide weed management in cropping systems
This paper uses Social Practice Theory (SPT) as a framework to understand how cropping land managers engage with the practices of AWWM, and what the drivers and barriers are to their participation.
Weed movement tracked to help inform management plans
DNA detective work is helping to better understand and map the movement of key weed species in a bid to improve management and direct future research.
Understanding social attitudes related to the success of area-wide weed management
The need for weed management to work effectively across property and institutional boundaries, means that an in-depth understanding of the attitudes, practices and relationships of various actors involved in weed management is needed.
Is a group effort the key to better weed control?
An innovative social survey is exploring the attitudes of a range of people involved in weed control from grain growers to orchardists, cotton producers, vineyard operators and local government agencies.
A problem shared is a problem halved when it comes to roadside weeds
A collaboration between researchers, public and private land managers is making inroads into roadside weed control.
Glyphosate resistance in mobile weeds across land uses: implications for area wide management of weeds
Weeds that have the ability to rapidly disperse across the landscape can create ongoing problems for individual land managers. Efforts […]
Opportunities for area-wide management of cropping weeds: a survey of growers in Australia
The mobility of weeds, use of biological controls and spread of herbicide resistance mean that weed management is a landscape-scale […]
A population genetics approach to evaluating weed movement and the role for area wide weed management
This study used a population genetics approach to assess weed movement within and across each of three regions in Australia […]
