Dr Charles 'Merf' Merfield is running an updated version of his non-chemical weed management workshop. With the current MBIE Herbicide Resistance project finding large amounts of herbicide-resistant weeds in New Zealand, it is increasingly important for non-chemical weed management approaches to be implemented.
Merf is an international researcher on non-chemical weed management. He has 30 years of practical and research experience in non-chemical weed management including inventing a range of weeding machinery.
Topics covered include: the context of weed management; essential weed biology and ecology; integrated weed management; plus detailed coverage of field operations and machinery. It will also cover the significant advances in electrothermal weeders that are a substitute for glyphosate, as well as robotic weeding which has been advancing at incredible speed.
The workshop will be at the Agrodome in Rotorua on Tuesday 26 July, from 9am to 5pm. Cost is NZ$450.00 excl. GST.
