class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">The inaugural Life Membership of the Weed Society of New South Wales was conferred on Eric Cuthbertson by President Mike Barrett at the General Meeting on 5th October, 1976.\n\nEric made a major contribution to weed science during a 37 year career with the New South Wales Department of Agriculture and gained an enviable international reputation as well.\n\nHis interest in weed science developed during studies on rangeland management at Trangie with the Department of Agriculture and he was probably the first person to look at control of Galvanised Burr with herbicides. Some twenty years weeds research at Wagga Wagga followed, including basic studies on two important perennial weeds, Skeleton Weed and Silverleaf Nightshade. He was a leader in developing herbicides for new crops such as lupins and oilseed rape, and has took a keen interest in new techniques such as direct drilling.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2d9ff30\" data-id=\"2d9ff30\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Membership Benefits Benefits of membership of the Weed Society of New South Wales Incinclude: Opportunity to\u00a0network with others interested in weed management Discounted registration for Society seminars and workshops Opportunity to apply for Society Travel Awards The Society newsletter, A Good Weed, delivered quarterly Access to the Society electronic newsletter, the Punnet Tray Discounted registration [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsnsw.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/190"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsnsw.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsnsw.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsnsw.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsnsw.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190"}],"version-history":[{"count":54,"href":"https:\/\/wsnsw.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2366,"href":"https:\/\/wsnsw.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/190\/revisions\/2366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsnsw.net.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
