Smarter growth management with Padre 270 for linear infrastructure and managed vegetation zones
As Australia’s linear-infrastructure networks expand, there is increasing need for low-impact, reliable and cost-effective vegetation management strategies. Padre 270 provides a practical, research...
Leucaena leucocephala: Weed Hygiene Case Study
Australia’s transport corridors are not just conduits for commerce—they are vectors for biological change. Leucaena leucocephala, valued as a forage crop, also threatens to invade new environments ...
Dyschoriste depressa Weed Hygiene Case Study
Australia’s extensive transport infrastructure traverses not just farmland but wetlands, forests, and urban edges. This diversity is matched by emerging weed threats such as Dyschoriste nagchana, (...
Water pH and the Performance of Weak Acid Herbicides
Weak-acid herbicides must remain in their non-ionised (acid) form to move efficiently through the plant cuticle. When spray water is too alkaline, the herbicide molecule becomes ionised.
Towards Modern Vegetation Management: Solutions for Australia’s Linear Infrastructure
Understanding the Changing Vegetation Challenge Vegetation management across Australia’s linear infrastructure corridors is becoming increasingly complex. Roads, rail corridors, gas pipelines, elec...
Case Study: Parthenium Weed Hygiene
Australia’s vast expanses and diverse land uses, from grazing pastures and cropping zones to natural bushland and urban corridors are uniquely bisected by some of the world’s longest road and rail ...
Selective Solutions: Using Broadleaf Herbicides to Restore Grassland Ecosystems
Grasslands are among Australia’s most significant ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, protecting soil health, and contributing to agriculture. Despite their importance, grasslands are under threat...
The Science of Timing: Maximising Herbicide Effectiveness in Ecosystem Restoration
Ecosystem restoration is a delicate process that requires precise planning and execution. Among the many tools available for managing invasive weeds and promoting native plant recovery, herbicides ...
Integrated Vegetation Management A Holistic Approach to Natural Area Recovery
Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) offers a holistic, science-based approach to restoring Australia’s natural areas. By combining chemical, mechanical, biological, and cultural methods, IVM add...
