On today’s Regional Update Podcast, we’re going to focus on the weed Matricaria, which has been a growing concern in Western Australia’s eastern Wheatbelt since it first emerged the late 1960s. Matricaria has spread to neighbouring regions and developed into a weed of serious concern for growers, particularly those in the Geraldton and Kwinana port zones. Alex Douglas from DPIRD joins us to explain how to identify and control this weed.You can find further information on this weed by checking out this GRDC Paddock Practices article: https://grdc.com.au/news-and-media/news-and-media-releases/west/2020/june/paddock-practices-herbicide-timing-key-in-managing-matricariaAlex Douglas also has written a Grains Research Update paper on Matricaria which you read here: http://bit.ly/2TOHT05
