Herbicide Discovery and Development 2020
The
HDD2020 Conference in Perth will be an event ideal for students and early
career researchers to meet industry and academics interested in herbicides.
Exceptional national and international delegates from industry and academia
have been invited to present their research and attend the conference. HDD2020
will have a strong emphasis on interactions among delegates and plenty of
opportunities will be provided for researchers to discuss their research during
poster sessions and catering breaks. Such networking events will also allow
HDD2020 exhibitors direct access to the HDD2020 attendees, many of whom are
leaders in their field.
The
HDD2020 Conference provides an unparalleled opportunity to showcase Australia
as an extraordinary location for scientific research. In 2016-2017 the gross
value of agricultural production in Western Australia was 9 billion AUD with
2.4 billion generated from wheat production. Herbicide resistance poses a
significant threat to the local and global economy with Australia being in the
unenviable position of having the second highest number of herbicide resistant
weeds in the world. Australia therefore has the motivation and resources to
contribute significantly to the development of new herbicides.
The
conference will be held at The University of Western Australia (UWA) situated
on the Swan River in Crawley, one of Australia’s most picturesque campuses. We
have organised accommodation at St George's College (a short walk from the
campus) or hotels in the Perth CBD a short bus ride away. Perth provides a wide
array of restaurants and tourist attractions to suit everyone’s budget with an
integrated transport network of trains and buses making it easy and comfortable
to get around. For the adventurous, over 12,000 km of pristine coastline
awaits, with breathtakingly beautiful beaches, flora and fauna.
