Proceedings of the 16th Australian Weeds Conference

Invitation to attend: On behalf of the organising committee of the 16th Australian Weeds Conference, we cordially invite you to attend this biannual conference to be held in Cairns, Australia, 19-22 May 2008. The conference will be hosted by the Weed Society of Queensland and has the theme of ‘Weed Management 2008 – hot topics in the tropics’. The conference will showcase recent advances in weed science, extension and policy across Australian and international communities and landscapes. The program for the conference includes plenary, oral, and poster sessions and trade exhibitors. The conference will appeal to anyone involved in weed R & D, management and extension and will be a great opportunity to build new networks and explore existing ones.
