Come and join the weeds teams at ADAS. It's an incredibly fun, diverse and fascinating opportunity.... we're not looking for any particular type of weed person just someone with a passion for the subject.

Teagasc have confirmed the first reported case of a field population of the grass weed Italian ryegrass, that has proven resistant to glyphosate.

ALT Symptoms of glyphosate-resistant and glyphosate-sensitive populations of Italian ryegrass following application of glyphosate. Both populations were treated with dose rates from 540 g ha-1 to 1440 g ha-1 (maximum rate allowed in any single year).

🌱 @WeedSciJohn shares red flags for poor weed control, like surviving patches and weak growth. But is it resistance or something else? Testing helps find the answer.

Went live with the survey last week & already been sent a pic of Orobanche parasitising legume species in an AB15 scheme.
Is the increased use of compatible host species in schemes like AB15 leading to more parasitic weeds on farm?
Give us your feedback tinyurl.com/parasiticweeds
@GoodgerSimon great quiz this week!!
If you get a chance help us to define our current understanding of parasitic weeds and their potential threat.
We really want feedback if you don't know anything about these weeds as well as from people who have already seen them on farm.
