CONTROL METHODS

According to NSW Department of Primary Industries’ excellent booklet “Noxious and Environmental Weed Control Handbook 3rd edition recommendation on PASTURE IMPROVEMENT, proper grazing management will assist with control of African lovegrass. Minimal soil disturbance required.

HERBICIDES – herbicide treatments include glyphosate and/or fluproponate (eg Tussock Herbicide®). Full information on rates and other critical comments in relation to timing etc are included in  Permit PER9792  available from the APVMA website.

IMPORTANT:  USE OF PESTICIDES – ALWAYS READ THE LABEL
Pesticides must only be used for the purpose for which they are registered and must not be used in any other situation or in any manner contrary to the directions on the label.  Never use a herbicide in any way contrary to the label recommendations.
