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.

AHRI researchers discover that 2,4-D synergises metribuzin
In this episode, we’re catching up with AHRI’s Dr Heping Han to talk about some recent research he published on 2,4-D syngergising metribuzin. Australian farmers and agronomists have previously observed synergy between phenoxy herbicides, such as 2,4-D and PSII herbicides, also known as Group C or Group 3 herbicides such, as metribuzin. Thanks to this new AHRI research, we now know why this is the case. Dr Heping Han joins us to explain this research and what it means for farming systems.The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) invests $1.5 million in AHRI each year to ensure Australian grain growers have access to world class research in strategies to mitigate weeds and control herbicide resistance.
