Many of our Australian readers would remember the great TV mini-series ‘Underbelly’ that exposed the underworld of Melbourne and Sydney.
It got the whole country talking about Carl Williams and the Moran brothers, and the corruption in the police force.
Similarly, our mini-series on pre-emergent herbicides will seek to reveal the underbelly of the herbicide world.
Aptly called ‘Pre-emergent: A tale of four herbicides’, it's gripping stuff!
We started this series a couple of years ago and plan to pick it up where we left off.
AHRI researcher Roberto Busi and others have undertaken a body of research in recent years that is too vast to bring to you in a single AHRI insight, so we'll roll it out over the next three weeks as a mini-series.
Episode 1: ‘Cross-resistant monster’ has already screened, featuring in a previous AHRI insight where recurrent selection with Sakura® in the lab led to the evolution of Sakura® resistance and cross-resistance to Boxer® and Avadex®.
In Episode 2 we will show how this resistance was inherited as a single gene, and how the cross-resistance works in both directions.
Hold onto your seat!
Here's a snapshot of AHRI Researcher Roberto Busi in his "element".
