Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

20 Tips for dual-purpose crops
Q: How does dual-purpose cropping fit in with what you do on the farm?
Growers explain integrating grazing crops into rotations to support young stock and improve body weight gains, while using crops like canola and triticale to balance livestock feed with crop yield potential.
Global genomic research targets herbicide resistance
Q: How does genomics change the pace of understanding resistance in the field?
Genomics allows faster identification of resistance genes and expression patterns, reducing the time from field observation to lab confirmation and enabling more precise, field-relevant management strategies.
Global genomic research targets herbicide resistance
Q: Why is herbicide resistance becoming so hard to manage globally?
Farmers are losing chemical tool kits faster than science can replace them, and regulatory constraints and the high bar for safety and toxicology slow the development of new herbicides; as a result, reliance on existing chemicals increases and resistance escalates.
Dr Rick Llewellyn: 2026 Seed of Light award - South
Q: What's next for Rick and how does GRDC's programs influence his work?
Rick describes ongoing national-scale projects like RiskWise, opportunities to collaborate with around 150 partners, and the combination of CSIRO and GRDC networks enabling large-scale progress in farming systems, extension, and innovation.
Dr Rick Llewellyn: 2026 Seed of Light award - South
Q: What are some of the most memorable projects Rick worked on and why were they memorable?
Rick highlights the herbicide resistance management work in Western Australia, the integration of growers, researchers, and industry partners, and the early trials on harvest weed seed control as especially memorable due to urgency, collaboration, and tangible progress against resistance.
