AHRI Snapshots is a podcast that provides information on what we do at the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative, as well as finding out what other researchers in weed science are up to around the country and the world. AHRI's researchers work out of the University of Western Australia, right next to the beautiful Swan River in WA's capital, Perth.
Dr Juan Vorster talks about herbicide resistance challenges in South Africa
In this episode of AHRI Snapshots, we catch up with an international guest. Dr Juan Vorster is an Associate Professor in Plant and Soil Sciences from the University of Pretoria, South Africa.Juan is studying herbicide resistance mechanisms in weeds and the development of effective management strategies for these weeds.He’s currently in Perth for a conference, so it’s a great opportunity to have a chat and learn more about his research.

Hot spot on goosegrass genome is a herbicide resistance generator
In this AHRI Snapshots, we catch up with Principal Research fellow, Dr Qin Yu about her latest paper on glyphosate resistance in goosegrass. This paper was published in Nature Communications in August 2023, which is an impressive achievement. This paper is complicated, but essentially the researchers have found a hot spot on the genome of goosegrass that is a herbicide resistance generator.In this research, the team found that in glyphosate-resistant goosegrass the EPSPS gene was tr...

Hybrid versus open-pollinated canola
Over the last few years, the AHRI agronomy team has done extensive work looking at crop competition in hybrid and open-pollinated canola.Project lead, Dr Mike Ashworth, joins us on this podcast to discuss the findings on ideal seeding rate, variety, row spacing and seed size.Herbicides are currently working quite well in canola. We know that herbicide resistance is a real threat though, so we discuss what the current trends are in herbicide use in canola crops and what growers need to do to m...
