Real farms.
Co-designed research.
Australian conditions.
Weed control continues to be one of Australian horticulture's biggest costs.
New robotics and AI technologies are promising real change — reducing labour, cutting chemical use, and improving crop quality.
The Next Generation Weed Management project is supporting the transition to these technologies by delivering independent local trials, practical adaptation guidance, and the evidence growers need to make confident investment decisions.
Technology from across the world, tested on Australian farms and soils.
Weed control technology is evolving rapidly. The Next Gen Weed Management project is trialling the latest mechanical, laser, and precision spray solutions in Australian conditions.
