Effect of grazing management and stockclass on Chilean needle grass (Nassella neesiana) seed production.
Grech, C. J.; McLaren, D. A.; Sindel, B. M.; Weed Management Society of South Australia, Victoria, Australia, 15th Australian Weeds Conference, Papers and Proceedings, Adelaide, South Australia, 24-28 September 2006: Managing weeds in a changing climate, 2006, pp 868-871, 12 ref. Concern about the invasion of pastures in south-eastern Australia by Chilean needle grass (CNG, Nassella neesiana (Trin. & Rupr.) Barkworth) began to mount in the 1970s. CNG infestations can reduce stock carrying capacity during late spring and summer. Th...

A national assessment of serrated tussock resistance to the herbicide flupropanate in Australia.
McLaren, D. A.; Ramasamy, S.; Lawrie, A. C.; Pritchard, G.; Morfe, T. A.; Weed Management Society of South Australia, Victoria, Australia, 15th Australian Weeds Conference, Papers and Proceedings, Adelaide, South Australia, 24-28 September 2006: Managing weeds in a changing climate, 2006, pp 534-537, 14 ref. A population of serrated tussock at Diggers Rest just north-west of Melbourne has been identified as being resistant to the herbicide flupropanate. This has prompted a national mail survey of 5000 land managers impacted by serrated tussock across Australi...
