Funded Activity Summary
Novel compounds as natural herbicides for weed management. The development by weeds of herbicide resistance has undermined minimum-tillage systems and heightened the limited prospects for development of new chemicals with different modes of actions through traditional methods. Such methods of searching for new herbicides are yielding diminishing returns and the associated costs are becoming prohibitive. This project aims to develop herbicides by evaluating, isolating and identifying novel natural compounds present in a range of weeds and crop plants. The outcomes will be reduced herbicide inputs, and the development of a new group of natural herbicides to counteract the threat imposed by the development of herbicide resistance.Funded Activity Details
