Abstract
Herbicide resistant weeds are a major impediment to grain growers across the Australian cropping regions. Since resistance was first reported in ryegrass and wild oats in Australia in the 1980s the extent of resistance in these weeds has increased.Knowledge of the extent of resistance in a region is important in designing suitable extension messages to manage resistance. Random seed collection surveys for annual ryegrass and wild oats were conducted across the northern cropping region (NSW and QLD) with the aim of establishing the frequency of herbicide resistance in these species to commonly used herbicides. Approximately 1000 paddocks were surveyed with annual ryegrass and wild oats occurring in 68 and 56% of paddocks, respectively.
