A
website
built by the Glyphosate Sustainability Working Group contains
useful information and resources about weed management
techniques to minimise the risk of developing glyphosate
resistance.
The GRDC, the
CRC for Australian Weed
Management and
CropLife Australia have contributed to this website.
It contains answers to frequently asked questions, fact sheets,
information about identifying and testing for glyphosate
resistance and a database of resistant weed populations.
GRDC Crop Protection Manger, John Sandow said the site was an
excellent tool for growers and agronomists and he encouraged
them to visit it and share the information.
"If herbicide resistance is suspected, weed samples should be
tested to aid future weed control and stop resistance from
spreading," he said.
"Information about how to test for resistance is also found on
the website."
