Professor Christopher Preston | Crop Protection Forum 2022

Herbicide Resistance Survey and Findings Professor Christopher Preston provides an overview of the results from a recent herbicide resistance surveillance project funded by GRDC. The project ran through 2020-2021 and tested for resistance in Winter and Summer weeds across Western Australia to New South Wales. He discusses the new trends in resistance, the new discoveries in the genetic mechanisms of resistance, and potential opportunities for controlling weeds going forward. Dr. Chris Preston is a professor of weed management at the University of Adelaide whose primary research interest is with herbicide resistant weeds. He’s one of the most influential players in the grain industry when it comes to herbicide resistance, and he is a global leader in the science behind weed management.
