2025 Modelling of Summer Weeds Scholarship at University of Queensland

This GRDC-funded weed management initiative aims to build capacity in northern Australia's grain region. UQ will train three PhD students in weed science under this initiative, particularly in Queensland. This project aims to predict weed population dynamics and the impact of various management strategies using models. By integrating biological, ecological, and environmental factors, these models will help simulate weed emergence, growth, and resistance evolution. Weed modelling will support weed management by optimising control strategies, reducing herbicide reliance, and improving decision-making for sustainable and site-specific management approaches.
