Field walk @Jibberding brome grass trial with @LiebeGroup – 2 yrs into a 3-yr study.
👉 Rotation > herbicide inputs for control
✅ Barley & canola sequences (2-Yr Break) slash seed set
❌ Continuous wheat = worst outcome
@theGRDC @DPIRDbroadacre
Day 1 of WeedSmart Week 2025
Great to see growers more open to new tech and confident in managing resistance with a mix or rotation of strategies. Lots of practical insights today around resistance, soil constraints, and the Big 6 in action.

Barley Systems Beat Weeds!👊🌿😵
CoAXium® & Clearfield® barley systems were more effective in managing barley grass & brome grass than a standard non-Clearfield® herbicide combination used in wheat.
New research in 2023 & 2024 by @DPIRDWA, supported by @FaceyGroup, shows CoAXium® barley (Titan AX) + Aggressor® AX (quizalofop + a crop safener) wiped out 100% barley grass & 94% brome grass. 💪🌾
Clearfield® barley (Maximus CL) system using Intervix® or Intercept® or any similar products containing Imazamox and Imazapyr also packed a punch with 92% barley grass & 74% brome grass control.
As compared to a conventional wheat system, CoAXium® & Clearfield® barley systems provided:
✅ Better weed control
✅ Higher yields

Research on barley & brome grass control!
DPIRD trials, led by @harmy_dhammu with @FaceyGroup, show CoAXium & Clearfield barley outperform standard wheat herbicide programs, achieving 90-100% control of barley & brome grass.

Brome Grass Management in WA: Year1 Results
Barley (AX & CL) at Highbury reduced BG seed set (98%), outperformed lupins at Jibberding (79%), and vetch & chemical fallow nearly eliminated seedset at Cape Burney—wheat struggled.

#WeedWarriorsWA – at Northam, Western Australia
Summer Weed Control✅
Our Narrogin trial on brome grass, supported by #GRDC, is in its 2nd year! #DPIRD's Dr. @harmy_dhammu, with @FaceyGroup, is testing integrated weed management—evaluating crop rotations, herbicide technology, and input levels vs. continuous wheat. Stay tuned!
What an inspiring opportunity to attend the Drought Resilience Showcase hosted by the South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub! So much exciting research happening in drought research.

Exciting times at the @austweedsconf (Australasian Weeds Conference).
The @DPIRDbroadacre’s weeds team presented our latest research on electric weed technology and deep tillage strategies under no-till systems, exploring their impact on weed dynamics and management.

@AMPeerzada doing a great job of breaking down how soil amelioration impacts pre-herbicides and weeds at the Australasian Weeds Conference. Need good soil moisture to ensure seed burial by inversion. icebergevents.eventsair.com/… #AWC2024 @DPIRDbroadacre @SteveDsoilsciWA

🌱Great turn out for the weed ID course today! 🌱
After learning taxonomic basics and the ID process with @AgronomoOz, attendees were challenged to ID a wide range of weeds with help from the #WSWA and @DPIRDbroadacre staff 🌾
Check out the media statement for our latest project, a co-funded investment by #DPIRD and #GRDC. We're diving deep into pre-emergence herbicides' efficacy following soil amelioration to tackle noxious weed species. Key takeaway: Don't rely solely on PRE.

This year's study involves examining the impact of various soil amelioration implements on vertical and horizontal movement of simulated weed seeds using colored plastic beads.
P.S. Glad I skipped majoring in soil science – my hands thank me for avoiding the 'core' of the issue! – at Perth, Western Australia
