Manipulating Crop Rotations to Enhance Brome Grass Management
 

Background:

Brome grass, a significant weed in Australian cropping regions, causes $22.5M in annual losses. Resistance to traditional herbicides is growing, necessitating new strategies. 

 

Project Overview:

This three-year trial is part of a Grains Research & Development Corporation project led by the University of Adelaide. The trial involves collaboration with DPIRD, Ag Innovation and Research Air Peninsula, Birchip Cropping Group, Hart Field Site Group, the Liebe Group, and WANTFA. The goal is to develop sustainable brome grass management techniques using low and high input systems. This multi year approach utilises crop rotation and chemical manipulations. 

 

Location:

Jibberding

The trial will explore practical, locally relevant strategies to control brome grass and improve

crop rotation.
