Funded Activity Summary
Characterising annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) in Australia. Annual rye grass (ARG) defies modern chemical technologies through evolving resistance. Agriculture has prospect of no herbicide options for ARG control in 10 years. Traditional approaches do not provide sustainable answers. A novel study of fundamental factors influencing competitiveness of this species is warranted to achieve more strongly based management options. Benefits are a prototype for improving understanding of other weed species, a stronger basis for determining management of Australia's worst temperate crop weed. Bringing together knowledge of ARG's genetic diversity, the role of endophyte and its allelopathic capabilities provides a powerful basis for unlocking the barriers to the control of this species.Funded Activity Details
