Scientists\, especially those dealing with herbicide resistance and working on the transition to non-chemical weed management\, will gain valuable insights. The content assumes a reasonable level of understanding and practical experience of commercial agriculture and horticulture systems including weed management. This is a really full on and intense workshop – bring your thinking head! Plenty of caffeine is provided! \n\n\n\nThis includes a colour handout printout of the presentations.
