With spring almost upon us, we'd like to know of any farmer/landcare groups that are interested in learning more about quality management techniques for tackling silverleaf nightshade in their area.
The silverleaf nightshade team offer half day on-farm workshops that feature up to date research on management of this common summer growing weed as well as answering questions from participants about the best control options for the local area. The results from 366 on-farm trials established across Vic, NSW, SA & WA can also be presented.

On Nov 11, 2015, an interactive field day and discussion group was held at 'Oak Hill', near Culcairn, in the NSW south-east Riverina, to dissiminate the latest research and management options to farmers for Silverleaf Nightshade control. This workshop was organised by Raylene Brown from Holbrook Landcare Network (HLN), in conjunction with Murrumbidgee Landcare Inc. (MLi).
Hanwen Wu from NSW DPI along with Phil Bowden and Karen Herbert from MLi andcare spoke and demonstrated the Weed seeker technology which has been estimated by growers to save 70% on the cost of herbicides.
