Chris Preston - herbicide resistance specialist with the University of Adelaide talks about alternative weed control options in the event use of paraquat is restricted or banned.
Transcript
00:00If we lose paracort, how are we going to do the dimes?
00:03What are our options?
00:04Well, fosinate's probably our main next tool,
00:07but how do we make it work in our system?
00:10So we're looking at which of the green green herbicides we'll mix it with,
00:13which ones work on which weed species.
00:15We've already got glyphosate and paracort-resistant dry grass.
00:19Not very much paracort resistance, but it'll spread
00:22and takes both of our knock-ins out to where we're going to go.
00:26So I'm trying to get the answers before farmers really are having to face that problem.
00:31Trial work we're doing at the moment is coming up with some answers.
00:34They're going to cost a bit more.
00:35They're not going to be as easy to do,
00:37but we'll at least have something we can do.
