Today on the podcast we’re going to be learning about how to use S-Metolachlor effectively and within the guidelines. Area Sales Manager from Syngenta Crop Protection for the Northern Commercial Unit, Tim Fraser joins us to tell us about this. We also will be hearing from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development grain researcher, Martin Harries, about a six-year focus paddock survey he has led. The survey work Martin did collected data from 184 paddocks spanning 14 million hectares of cropping land in Western Australia. It was all made possible with a DPIRD and GRDC investment and the collaboration of 13 farming groups; including the Facey, Liebe, Mingenew-Irwin groups and WANTFA.Links I promised in the podcast:Listen to the Regional Update here: https://weedsmart.org.au/resources/regional-update-podcast/Subscribe to the WeedSmart Whip Around here: https://weedsmart.org.au/subscribe/The WeedSmart Big 6: https://weedsmart.org.au/the-big-6/AHRI insight on Martin Harries' work: https://ahri.uwa.edu.au/epic-wa-focus-paddock-project-shows-were-having-a-win/______________________________________Podcast Producer: Jessica StraussPodcast Hosts: Jessica Strauss, Peter Newman
