| Integrated Weed Management manual The Weeds CRC’s world-class Integrated Weed Management manual, describes a broad range of chemical and non-chemical tactics for weed management aimed at reducing the weed seedbank and the selection pressure for resistance on herbicides. The full manual is available for purchase, however limited sections available for download, include:

| Effectiveness of herbicide resistance management strategies Author: Steve Walker Contains information from simulations of long-term impact on the weed seed-bank of different strategies to prevent the development of herbicide resistance. These simulations showed that the most effective strategy was the combination of crop rotation (summer and winter crops), rotation of herbicide groups and growing more competitive crops. Rotation of herbicide groups alone did not prevent rapid development of resistance. |

The Quick-Test turn around time is 4-6 weeks - providing information about what herbicides are still effective much earlier than a seed test. The Quick-Test works for most weed species and growth stages (seedling – late tillering) Website has details on how to sample and send plants. |

| Crop weeds of Australia by Sheldon Navie (CD Rom) Crop Weeds of Australia is an educational tool designed to assist in teaching and learning the principles and practice of plant identification. It has been developed to assist students in agriculture-related tertiary courses, but can also be used by secondary school and TAFE students. The key includes about 150 species of weeds commonly found in Australia's cropping systems and covers all of the major cropping areas from tropical to sub-tropical and temperate. |
