2019 Technical Session

New Strategies to Manage Weeds

In 2019, our special technical session addressed the topic of weed management. With the increasing appearance of herbicide resistant weeds and decreasing number of herbicide options, we need to rethink weed management.

A small group of lead farmers, researchers and tech developers gathered to discuss this topic, debate alternatives and explore opportunities for collaboration.

From an earlier event:

“LandWISE was one of the best forums I’ve participated in. The sense of goodwill and teamwork was extraordinary” Professor David Lamb, University of New England, Australia

The Technical Sessions are “by application” events with numbers limited to ensure good dialogue and quality discussion.  Check up on this page for information about our upcoming 2020 practical session.

LandWISE Research into Managing Herbicide Resistant Weeds is contracted through AgResearch, with funding from MBIE, FAR, NZ Wine, NZVRI
