Abstract

The Weed Seed Wizard is a national collaborative project that uses paddock management information to predict weed emergence and crop losses now and in the future.

The Weed Seed Wizard is a computer simulation tool that:

  • applies to all Australian grain growing areas
  • helps growers understand and manage weed seedbanks on their farms
  • uses farm management records to simulate how different crop rotations, weed control techniques, irrigation, grazing and harvest management tactics can affect weed numbers, the weed seedbank and yields
  • uses farm-specific management and site-specific weather
  • is multi-species

See www.dpird.wa.gov.au for further information on Weed Seed Wizard.

This Queensland scenario is set in Goondiwindi between 2005 and 2008 and is a wheat - barley - sorghum - chickpea rotation with a long fallow between barley and sorghum. The main weed is barnyard grass.
