AHRI Snapshots
AHRI Snapshots is a podcast that provides information on what we do at the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative, as well as finding out what other researchers in weed science are up to around the country and the world. AHRI's researchers work out of the University of Western Australia, right next to the beautiful Swan River in WA's capital, Perth.

What is the relationship between developing herbicide resistance, seed size and seed dormancy?
In this interview, we catch up with AHRI Senior Agronomy Researcher, Roberto Lujan Rocha to talk about his latest publication he worked on with Aniruddha Maity, who briefly worked at AHRI just before the pandemic.
This study, entitled Concurrent evolution of seed dormancy and herbicide resistance in field populations of dominant weed species in Western Australian cropping systems, evaluates the interaction among developing herbicide resistance, seed size and seed dormancy in three weed species in Western Australia.
