Electric interrow control of lupine plants does not adversely affect the neighboring non-target lupine plants Open
Interrow weed control is used in a wide range of crops, traditionally applied via physical cultivation or banded herbicide application. However, these methods may result in crop damage, development of herbicide resistance, or off-target en…

Burial and subsequent growth of rigid ryegrass (<i>Lolium rigidum</i>) and ripgut brome (<i>Bromus diandrus</i>) following strategic deep tillage Open
Soil amelioration via strategic deep tillage is occasionally utilized within conservation tillage systems to alleviate soil constraints, but its impact on weed seed burial and subsequent growth within the agronomic system is poorly underst…

Exploring the potential of electric weed control: a review Open
Weed management is a significant challenge that must be addressed both globally and in Australia, where traditional methods of control have become limited. The avoidance of mechanical practices has resulted in reduced erosion but has also …

Strategic tillage in Australian conservation agricultural systems to address soil constraints: How does it impact weed management? Open
In the conservation agricultural systems practised in Australia, cultivation is not commonly utilised for the purpose of weed control. However, occasional use of tillage (strategic tillage) is implemented every few years for soil ameliorat…

Subterranean and aerial seed production of southern threecornerjack (<i>Emex australis</i>) Open
Southern threecornerjack ( Emex australis Steinh.) produces both aerial seeds on the branches and subterranean seeds at the base of the plant crown approximately 1 to 2 cm underground. Prior research indicated that seeds buried at a depth …

The Remarkable Journey of a Weed: Biology and Management of Annual Ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) in Conservation Cropping Systems of Australia Open
Annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaud.), traditionally utilised as a pasture species, has become the most problematic and difficult-to-control weed across grain production regions in Australia. Annual ryegrass has been favoured by the adopt…

Modelling the long‐term impact of harvest weed seed control for species like <i>Bromus diandrus</i> and <i>Hordeum</i> spp. that shed a portion of seed prior to harvest Open
Harvest weed seed control (HWSC) is an increasingly popular integrated weed management tactic to catch, destroy or remove weed seeds at crop harvest. However, most weed species shed some seed prior to crop harvest, and we have little data …

Agricultural Weed Assessment Calculator: An Australian Evaluation Open
Weed risk assessment systems are used to estimate the potential weediness or invasiveness of introduced species in non-agricultural habitats. However, an equivalent system has not been developed for weed species that occur in agronomic cro…

Summer weed species incidence in Western Australia varies between seasons Open
Agronomic surveys of summer weed species are necessary to identify future research directions for optimal weed control, but usually focus on agricultural fields in a single season. To survey all species in the absence of weed control measu…
