YOUR ALERT TO NEW AND EMERGING THREATS |
Welcome to Weed Watch, your alert to new and emerging threats. New and em erging weeds are reported every year in South East Queensland. These weeds present a significant threat to our environment and if left untreated can cause substantial damage and be extremely costly to control.
Weed Watch is your way of keeping in touch with what is happening in the world of weeds. Each month, Weed Watch identifies a new and emerging weed threat. The publication provides information on ID, distribution, habitat and look-alikes. Weed Watch also offers best practice control methods to ensure you have the ammunition you need to win the war on weeds.
