Recent Advances in Weed Science

Prof. Bhagirath Singh Chauhan, The University of Queensland, Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, Gatton, Queensland, AustraliaProfessor Chauhan received his PhD in Weed Science from the University of Adelaide, South Australia in 2007. He leads weed research in the northern grain region of Australia. He has worked in several countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, India, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. He is on the editorial board for several highly regarded journals, including Weed Science. He has published over 500 articles and edited several books, including ‘Rice Production Worldwide’, ‘Crop Protection under Changing Climate’, and ‘Non-chemical Weed Management’.Prof. Gulshan Mahajan, The University of Queensland, Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, Gatton, Queensland, AustraliaGulshan has vast experience working on the agronomy of rice in India. He is currently a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland. Gulshan has published over 150 articles and edited several books, including ‘Rice Production Worldwide’.
