Weeds - a threat to drought recovery

primefact cover
Primefact Number: 365    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: 01 Jan 2007

Drought provides the ideal opportunity for weeds to demonstrate their competitive ability. It is important to maintain vigilance so that weeds do not become a serious threat to the drought recovery on your farm.

Weeds are a major form of land degradation, and pose a high cost to the community in both environmental damage and lost production in the farming and grazing industries. This Primefact discusses:

  • likelihood of weeds
  • general problems
  • weeds from introduced fodder and grain
  • poisonous plants
  • plant identification
  • herbicide resistance
  • control strategies.
