New resource to weed out serrated tussock

1 JANUARY 2003

Charles Sturt University (CSU) has contributed in the creation of a new resource to help farmers in the battle against one of Australia’s most noxious weeds, serrated tussock. The Serrated Tussock Best Practice Management Manual and a supporting resource CD was launched today, Tuesday 25 November. “Up-to-date information on the best practices to control and manage the spread of serrated tussock is a key to successful management,” said Mr Scott Chirnside, Chair of the National Serrated Tussock Management Group. The new manual collates information on control and management options. CSU School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences research fellow, Dr Aaron Simmons said, ”Lower wool prices mean people work off farm and have less time to control serrated tussock. This manual will provide farmers with most of the information they need but they do need to consider how the information reflects their individual circumstance.”
