Defeating the Weed Menace R&D Program Publications

A Commentary on Funded Biological Control Projects

In a suite of 27 national weeds research projects funded as part of the Defeating the Weed Menace Program. Land and Water Australia funded seven projects under the theme of Biocontrol agents for national priority weeds.

This publication is one of a suite of 13 produced as part of a folder showcasing research from the Defeating the Weed Menace Research and Development program.

Benefits and costs of buffel grass

understanding perceptions can contribute to policy development

Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) is a valuable introduced species for pastoral production but its invasion into arid and semi-arid rangelands represents a key threatening process for conservation values.

Best practice for on-ground property weed detection

Around 28,000 exotic plant species have been introduced into Australia since European settlement.

This publication is one of a suite of 13 produced as part of a folder showcasing research from the Defeating the Weed Menace Research and Development program.

Best practice for on-ground property weed detection

Weedy species will continue to enter Australia while existing species expand their range via various pathways of weed spread (the subject of Defeating the Weed Menace Project UNE61, Pathway Risk Analysis for Weed Spread within Australia).

Biological control and ecology of alligator weed

The goal of this project was to improve management of alligator weed in Australia. This was to be accomplished through; 1) testing the host specificity of two herbivorous insects for potential use as biological control agents

Boneseed rust: A highly promising candidate for biological control

Appendix

The systemic South African rust fungus, Endophyllum osteospermi, is a highly promising biological control agent for boneseed (Chrysanthemoides monilifera ssp. monilifera), because it reduces growth and reproduction of plants by causing extensive…

Control of Environmental Weeds

an Integrated Framework for NRM, a discussion paper

The integration of environmental weed control within a broader natural resource management framework is an important component of a whole-of-systems approach to conservation and management of our ecological assets.

Control of Pine wildlings in remnant vegetation: Aspects of management in the Green Triangle Region

Radiata pines (Pinus radiata) were introduced into South Australia and Victorian in latter part of the 1800s. The second half of the 1900s saw large-scale plantation development. Breeding for faster growth and greater volume also occurred in this period.
