	Description:		Today on the WeedSmart Podcast, we’re going to be learning about how wheat with a longer coleoptile offers some unique benefits from a crop protection standpoint. SLR Research CEO Michael Lamond has conducted which has found benefits for the wheat gene Rht18. The longer coleoptile of Rht18 wheat enables it to emerge through the furrow fill with less damage from pre-emergent herbicide. It was also found to have more vigour. We’re also going to find out about some exciting results from a five-year University of Adelaide weeds trial. This trial shows a triple threat strategy, rather than traditional methods has the potential to produce the best results for weed control in the Southern region. University of Adelaide Research Agronomist, Ben Fleet, joins us to explain these findings. Links
