Weed Identification and Management

 

 

• Weeds are a threat to primary production and biodiversity.

 

• Weed are placed under various categories based on their ability to spread and the damage they caused.

 

• You should be aware of these categories as it may help you prioritise your work.

 

• We Provide weed identification and management options before and after planting your crops.

 

 

 

Here are the key categories:

 

• Invasive Weeds: Non-native species that rapidly harm ecosystems and reduce biodiversity.

 

• Annual Weeds: Complete their life cycle in one year and reproduce quickly.

 

• Perennial Weeds: Live for several years, spreading through seeds or rhizomes.

 

• Biennial Weeds: Grow for two years, rosetting in the first and flowering in the second.

 

• Noxious Weeds: Legally defined harmful weeds targeted for control.

 

• Agricultural Weeds: Compete with crops, reducing yields.

 

• Ecological Weeds: Disrupt natural habitats and threaten native species.

 

• Herbicide-Resistant Weeds: Resistant to common herbicides, requiring special management strategies.

 

Understanding these categories helps prioritize control efforts effectively.

 

We provide:

 

• Chemical control: using different methods to apply chemicals, such as herbicides.

 

• Develop herbicide resistance treatment.

 

• Biological control: releasing a weed's native natural enemy, such as insects or disease.

 

• Provide follow-up monitoring which is an essential aspect of the success of any weed management program. The lack of follow-up can often be the major cause of failure in successfully tackling weeds.
