Summary
Weeds are a major threat to the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of Australian agriculture, recently estimated to cost $4.1 billion annually in crop losses and control measures. This investment seeks delivery of weed management strategies, nationally, to ensure Australian grain growers have continuing access to innovative, diverse, and cost reducing options.
The Weed Management Initiative (WMI) is a federated model, with nodes across each Grain Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) region, aiming to deliver advanced weed management practices to Australian grain growers. It consists of five key programs covering weed management, herbicide resistance from evolutionary dynamics to practical mitigation strategies, communication, and capacity building. The initiative will foster collaboration among research institutions, ensuring long-term investment and efforts in weed science. A coordination role will facilitate the WMI activities, travel and reporting.
Offer period
Offers will remain open for acceptance by the GRDC for a period of 6 months after the Closing Time.
