With the support of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, the Centre has released The status of biological control research for 27 Weeds of National Significance: A summary of past and current biological control research, and directions for future work.
WeedScan is Australia’s first artificial intelligence (AI) weed identification, notification and management app designed to help farmers, land managers, local councils, Landcare and people across Australia better manage invasive weeds.
A roadmap to guide Australia’s future priority weed biocontrol research, development and extension activities at a national scale.
The Centre for Invasive Species Solutions is proud to co-host #BioSym2024, which is set to delve deeper into the future landscape of Australian Biosecurity.
Weeds continue to impact biodiversity, agriculture, and public spaces, posing challenges to productivity and land use. The 23rd AWC provides a platform to unite, share ideas, and explore effective weed management strategies. This significant national event will be staged at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Aimed primarily at land managers, land management agencies and research organisations, this manual is based on collecting the minimum information agreed by the Australian Weeds Committee (AWC) as core attributes for monitoring the distribution and spread of Weeds of National Significance (WONS).
This CSIRO report for WWF Australia explores the environmental and agricultural impacts of invasive garden plants in Australia.
Biocontrol often forms a vital component of integrated weed management strategies and is a proven approach in the Australian context. Close to 40% of biocontrol programs have been considered successful, delivering an overall benefit-cost ratio of 23:1.
Thirty-two Weeds of National Significance (known as WONS) have been identified based on their invasiveness, potential for spread and environmental, social and economic impacts. View their profiles.
