✓ Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD — email supervisor to discuss availability.

The research of the weed science group at the University of Adelaide is focussed on better managment of weeds in agricultural cropping systems. Areas of current research activity include: the evolution, biochemical mechanisms and management of herbicide resistant weeds, ecology and biology and management of emerging weeds in agriculture, gene flow from herbicide tolerant crops and its implications for farm management, risk assessment for weeds and herbicide tolerant crops and patterns of genetic diversity in weed populations.
