Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Managing weeds in tough seasons: HRZ strategies that work
Q: How is technology changing weed management in high rainfall areas?
Emerging technologies like AI-assisted analytics, drones, and site-specific weed management are shaping more targeted, efficient interventions. While adoption is still gradual in some regions, these tools are expected to complement traditional methods and align with the Big Six framework to reduce chemical use and improve profitability.
Managing weeds in tough seasons: HRZ strategies that work
Q: What management approaches work best in tough seasons with heavy rainfall?
A multi-prong approach that combines timely weed control with both chemical and non-chemical methods, proactive farm planning over two to four years, and leveraging advancements in varietal technologies, precise herbicide use, and crop competition to give the crop the advantage.
Managing weeds in tough seasons: HRZ strategies that work
Q: Just from your perspective, what are the main challenges or unique challenges about weed management in high rainfall zones?
The key challenges include managing weeds over multiple years with rotation, dealing with large germination windows, and ensuring control even when paddocks are hard to access due to wet growing seasons. It's also about preventing a rapid buildup of the weed seed bank by planning ahead and using both herbicide and non-herbicide options.
Reshaping the landscape: Landforming for water flow management
Q: Now Quenten, it's a five year project. What is the project about, what are you trying to achieve and what outcomes do you hope to reach?
The project focuses on surface water management across Australia, collecting data, case studies, and spreading knowledge to help farmers plan and implement drainage. The aim is to de-risk cropping in high rainfall zones by providing actionable information on how to plan and apply surface drainage.
Dr Lisle Snyman: 2026 Seed of Light award - North
Q: What motivates you to keep working in plant pathology and extension?
The sense of making an impact and helping growers and agronomists make better decisions, with daily accessibility to answer questions and see tangible farm-level results.
