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, (...

Economic Barriers to Effective Weed Control in Australia
Weed management is a persistent and complex challenge for Australian land managers. Weeds cost the Australian economy billions each year through reduced crop yields, increased management expenses, ...

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
Introduction: The Necessity of Weed Hygiene Management Australia’s vast expanses and diverse land uses, from grazing pastures and cropping zones to natural bushland and urban corridors are u...

The Critical Role of Weed Hygiene in Effective Weed Management
Weed hygiene management is a cornerstone of effective biosecurity and sustainable land use in Queensland. The unchecked movement of soil, vehicles, stock, and equipment can inadvertently spread inv...

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...
