Today on the Regional Update podcast, we are going to be getting the details on the 2020 Summer Weed Survey of WA Cropping districts, which GRDC invested in. Between January and April this year, 197 paddocks were surveyed to assess for what weeds were present to provide a detailed insight into the trends in Summer weed emergence. We’re going to be chatting with Andrew Storrie, also known as AGRONOMO, to find out more. In this podcast, Andrew talks about the importance of killing weeds when they're small, particularly for Summer weeds as they can be harder to kill once they get bigger. Check out the updated GRDC broadacre cropping weeds ute guide here to help you identify weeds at all growth stages: https://grdc.com.au/news-and-media/news-and-media-releases/national/2020/may/new-and-improved-grdc-weed-ute-guide-now-available_________________________________________________Host and producer: Jessica Strauss
