Personal profile
Research interests
My research is focussed on improving the sustainability and profitability of Western Australian cropping systems. I have interests in no-tillage (conservation agriculture) systems, crop rotations, cover crops, crop residue management, herbicide efficacy in no-till systems and weed management.
Roles and responsibilities
I teach classes related to cropping systems, precision/digital agriculture (AgTech). I am the Director of the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative (AHRI) at The University of Western Australia. I also sit on the Board of the Western Australian No-Tillage Farmers Association (WANTFA)
Current projects
New technology to reduce reliance on chemcials for weed control (part of the Western Australian Agricultural Research Collaboration initiative)
