A large-scale research project being led by FAR aims to establish a diverse and sustainable toolkit of weed managementstrategies in the face of rising rates of herbicide resistance. In this episode of Cut the Crop, FAR researcher Matilda Gunnarsson says growers need to shift to a more integrated approach rather than just relying on herbicides to kill weeds.
