Dr. Chris Preston is Professor of weed management at the University of Adelaide. He works on understanding and management of herbicide resistant weeds.

The research of the weed science group at the University of Adelaide is focused on better management of weeds in agricultural cropping systems. Areas of current research activity include: the evolution, biochemical mechanisms and management of herbicide resistant weeds, and ecology and biology and management of emerging weeds in agriculture.
