NSW WeedWise App
The NSW WeedWise app provides key information to help users reduce the impact of noxious and environmental weeds in New South Wales (NSW). The app profiles over 300 weeds, describing their legal requirements under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993, control information and registered herbicide options.
Users can search or browse weed names (common or scientific); recognise a weed by its physical description and image gallery; and find out about its impacts, where it occurs, how it spreads and its preferred habitat. Control options are described for each weed and the herbicides registered for its control by the Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicines Authority are listed, including application rates and techniques, and any minor-use permits that must be complied with.
Landholders/residents can enter the contact details of their local council weeds officer, and then directly report sightings of high priority weeds via email or SMS. Weeds professionals can share information about a weed with clients via email or SMS, including a weed’s profile, legal requirements, control advice and herbicide options.
NSW WeedWise incorporates the content contained in the Noxious & Environmental Weed Control Handbook, a free, biennial publication from NSW Department of Primary Industries. NSW WeedWise was developed with the assistance of the NSW Weeds Action Program.
