Vegetation Risk Assessment for Critical Infrastructure
Vegetation risk assessment provides a structured process for identifying, evaluating and managing vegetation that may affect the safety, reliability or performance of critical infrastructure. Rathe...
Understanding Herbicide Modes of Action
Selecting a herbicide involves more than identifying the target weed. To achieve reliable long term vegetation outcomes, vegetation managers must also understand how herbicides work within the plan...
Developing an Annual Vegetation Management Plan for Infrastructure Assets
An Annual Vegetation Management Plan provides the framework for managing infrastructure assets safely, efficiently and sustainably throughout the year. Rather than responding to issues as they aris...
Selecting Herbicides Within an Integrated Vegetation Management Program
Effective herbicide selection begins long before a product is chosen. Within an Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) program, herbicides are selected to support clearly defined management objecti...
Integrated Vegetation Management: Managing Outcomes, Not Treatments
A vegetation program is not defined by how many times a crew sprays or mows. It is defined by whether the asset is safe, functional and being managed to an agreed standard over time. Integrated Veg...
Supply disruption is a chance to review, plan and rotate.
When a major product becomes unavailable, it creates an important moment for the industry to pause, review and adapt. The recent supply disruption affecting a key industrial residual herbicide is a...
Herbicide Resistance: Protecting the Tools We Still Have
Herbicide resistance is usually noticed when something stops working. A treatment that once delivered reliable control begins leaving survivors and attention quickly turns to what product should be...
From Reactive Weed Control to Proactive Vegetation Management
Evidence to Adoption examines how integrated vegetation management research has been translated into repeatable operational programs across Australian road, rail, open space and infrastructure asse...
Water Quality and Tank Mixing: Why Formulation Matters
Two herbicides may contain exactly the same active ingredient yet produce noticeably different field results. While the active ingredient provides the herbicidal activity, the formulation determine...
