Weed Detection on Farms: A Guide for Landholders
Sindel, B., Jhorar, O., Reeve, I., Thompson, L., Moss, J., & Coleman, M. 2009. Weed Detection on Farms: A Guide for Landholders.
Weeds constitute a significant cost to Australian landholders each year, both in terms of control and loss of productivity. As custodians for a large part of Australia’s landscape, farmers and graziers make an important contribution to the detection and control of weeds.
It is therefore important to understand what constitutes a weed, how weeds spread, the best methods for detecting weeds on your property, and what needs to be done if a new weed is found.
This booklet discusses the significance of weeds to Australian agriculture, and describes the current ‘best practice’ principles for early detection of weeds on farms.
The booklet was developed from the project 'Best Practice for On-Ground Property Weed Detection', and is available for free download (1.45Mb PDF):
