Michael Walsh is an Associate Professor and Director Weed Research at the University of Sydney. For 25 years he has worked on the research and development of alternative weed control technologies aimed at reducing the impact of herbicide resistance on Australian grain cropping systems. Much of his work has been focused on the introduction and use of harvest weed seed control systems to mitigate the impact of resistant weed populations on grain production. Recently he and the team at University of Sydney have commenced research on weed recognition technologies and opportunities for precision weed control in cropping systems. He believes that recent technological advances are creating exciting opportunities for the introduction of new weed control techniques.

Stephen Powles is Emeritus Professor at the University of Western Australia, following his retirement as long-term Director of the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative. He is widely recognised as a global expert in herbicides, herbicide resistance and weed control technologies, with over 300 publications in international journals. Powles is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Academy of Technology & Engineering. He is the recipient of the GRDC Seed of Light Award (2010) and in 2021 the coveted GRDC Seed of Gold Award. In addition to R & D in agricultural technology he stays grounded with a 340 hectare cropping farm devoted to wheat, canola and legume production.
