The introduced flora of Australia and its weed status

Posted Mon, 19/04/2010 - 10:47 by tonyf

This publication is the outcome of a Cooperative Research Centre for Australian Weed Management project, and is aimed at a large range of users from Commonwealth, state and local government officers, to researchers, horticulturists, nursery owners, farmers, landscapers, consultants, groups of volunteers looking after remnant bushland to home gardeners. Everyone who uses plants needs to be aware of the weed potential of those plants and to be able to make informed decisions about which ones to use in their operations.
