Sinopsis

Our latest AHRI insight which will be published in the next few days, ‘Crops are doin’ it for themselves’, written by Cindy Benjamin, looks at work around crop competition out of Charles Sturt University. The main project is led by Professor Leslie Weston at CSU and Associate Professor Dr Chris Preston at The University of Adelaide, to investigate several aspects of crop competition. The AHRI Insight delves into just one set of experiments within the broader project, that investigated the ‘impact of crop cultivar on in-crop and post-harvest weed suppression’. Today we’re chatting with Leslie, who will give an overview of this important work.You can follow AHRI on Twitter here. To learn more about AHRI's research and team, check out the website here.
