This subject contains a 4 day Compulsory Residential School.
The purpose of the Residential School is to provide an opportunity to revise the main theoretical weed and pesticide science concepts taught in this subject and to provide a framework for an authentic and rich experience to relate those theoretical concepts to hands-on skill development.
During the Residential School students will have an opportunity to develop skills on weed scouting, weed seedling identification, use of decision support systems and weed seed bank and experimental assessments. Students will also develop skills on spray technology and application techniques as it relates to farming systems of southern Australia.
