The 2023 BCPC Weeds Review marks 60 years of sharing experiences of weed control challenges and successes. To highlight this landmark, the organisers have asked some speakers to explore influences, changes and successes over the past 60 years which will also inform future needs. We welcome your reflections in this. The survey outcomes will provide a topic of discussion at the review on 2 November.
Please find about 10 minutes to provide your experiences on weed control in your career to date, and to help highlight emerging priorities. The survey (which may be shared with colleagues) remains open and is accessible from the ONLINE SURVEY LINK or by scanning the QR code below:
