Sponsored by NIWAC (Northern Inland Weeds Advisory Committee).  Available in PDF format for use by weeds officers or any organisations putting on a public display of noxious weeds, particularly poisonous weeds.  Please check them out on Labels for weed displays.

SPONSORSHIP.  There is an expense involved in maintaining this website.  To date, we are pleased to be able to report that Dow AgroSciences® and Quik-Spray®  have come on board as SPONSORS.  As at August 2007 this website is averaging >300 VISITS PER DAY (up to 650,000 hits per month) so it's reasonable to believe that Dow and Quik-Spray are getting a fair return for their sponsorship investment!  We welcome others to apply.  Please contact Les Tanner on 0427 241 806.

[New!]Prickly pear biocontrol agents:
Pages dealing with the prickly pear insects cactoblastis (right) and cochineal (left).  Please also see our Prickly Pear History webpage to learn why these insects were brought into Australia.

[New!] PHOTO GALLERY to help with identification of local noxious and other weeds - has been expanded to take in a second page, featuring native and non-declared pest plants.   See WEED PHOTOS page for currently-declared weeds and MORE PHOTOS for other problem weeds.
