Differentiating between weeds and crop at harvest time based on plant height differences

AHRI Snapshots

This is our last AHRI Snapshots podcast for 2020! On our final episode, AHRI PhD Candidate Nooshin Shahbazi joins us to talk about her latest paper "Comparison of crop and weed height, for potential differentiation of weed patches at harvest". She has been looking at differentiating between weeds and the crop at harvest time based on the plants height differences, with the aim of identifying weed species that persist in the field until harvest and grow taller than the crop plants, so that these weed species could be mapped at the next stage of the project and treated.With the increasing challenges associated with herbicide-based weed control due to chemical residue and herbicide resistance, innovative approaches to weed control are becoming more sought after.If you'd like to check out Nooshin's paper, you can read it here: https://ahri.uwa.edu.au/publications/comparison-of-crop-and-weed-height-for-potential-differentiation-of-weed-patches-at-harvest/Producer and Presenter: Jessica Strauss
