Eradicate weeds that have a limited distribution before tackling those that are widespread.  \n2. Only treat areas you have the capacity to follow-up and maintain.  \n| Weed Definition | A weed is a plant that is growing in the wrong place, be it agricultural land, bushland, roadside or backyard. A weed is recognised as having an impact; either economically in productive land or outcompeting natives in bushland or outcompeting desirable plants in a garden. |\n| --- | --- |\n| How Weeds Spread | Weeds need space and light to grow, often appearing after soil disturbance. They can spread via seed, stem fragments, root fragments, bulbs and tubers. They are spread on tools, clothes, shoes, machinery, vehicles as well as via wind, water, birds, ants and other animals. |\n| Weed Legislation | Is it a declared weed under the Weed Management Act 1999? If yes, Zone A (required to eradicate) or Zone B (required to contain) Is it an Environmental Weed?\u003Cbr>Is it a priority under the local strategy (eg, local Council Weed Management Strategy)? |\n| Weed Identification | What are the distinguishing features of the weed?\u003Cbr>Flower shape, colour and arrangement. Leaf shape, size and arrangement. Type of plant; grass, sedge, fern, herb, shrub or tree.\u003Cbr>For ID take photos that show leaves, stem and flowers or seed. Alternatively collect a specimen and keep in snaplock bag in fridge. Email photos or take specimens into the local Council NRM Officer, DPIPWE Invasive Species Unit, or Tasmanian Herbarium to identify. |\n| Treatment Methods | Prevention: keep your visitors and workers’ tools, clothes, shoes, vehicles and machinery clean. Check garden soil and mulch for weediness.\u003Cbr>Manual: hand pulling, using weeding tool.\u003Cbr>Mechanical: mulching, slashing, excavator, etc.\u003Cbr>Chemical: cut-and-paste, spraying (USE ACCORDING TO LABEL) .\u003Cbr>Biological: using insects or other biocontrol agents (eg, Cape broom psyllid for canary broom) .\u003Cbr>Other: grazing, fire, solarization (plastic to trap heat from sun), mulching, sowing competative crops.\u003Cbr>Disposal: leave plants in place with roots in air, cut and double bag flowerheads (eg, ragwort, boneseed), hot compost or burn. |\n| Location & Distribution | Map each priority weed location. The LIST can be used to produce a map of your property (see map example) . [http://maps.thelist.tas.gov.au](http://maps.thelist.tas.gov.au)\u003Cbr>[Density for each weed species: single plant](Density for each weed species: single plant), patch, scattered, dense patch.\u003Cbr>Define zones: weed free, eradication, containment lines, core infestation. |\n\n\n| Management Considerations | Your Resources: your time, knowledge, tools, skills and experience in weed and property management.\u003Cbr>Your Property: productive/pasture/bushland areas, waterways/dams, other sensitive areas, tracks, organic/no chemical areas, neighbours, slope, prevailing wind, access to weeds, fauna habitat, future plans for the weedy areas.\u003Cbr>Your Management Philosophy: biodynamic, organic, minimal chemical, no-till, minimal soil disturbance, dozer. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Prioritising | List weeds in order of priority in your plan based on:\u003Cbr>1. Distribution and Density on the Site: eradicate weeds that have limited distribution on your property before tackling those that are widespread.\u003Cbr>2. Legal Status: Declared (Zone A or B) . Environmental weed. Local priority.\u003Cbr>3. Impacts and Ability to Spread: potential to quickly spread and invade agricultural land and bushland, potential damage to natural resources, toxicity to stock (eg, ragwort) etc.\u003Cbr>4. Property Values Under Threat.\u003Cbr>5. Areas Adjacent to Property Boundaries: maintain a 50m weed free zone from your boundary and all waterways. |\n| Follow-up & Monitoring | Monitor annually the areas where you have treated, as many seeds remain viable for more than five years. Aim to remove weed seedlings before they flower and produce seed.
