Environment & Health / Biosecurity & weed management / Weed identification
NSW WeedWise is provided as a free smartphone app through the app stores.
Like the web version, the smartphone app provides key information to help users reduce the impact of over 300 weeds in New South Wales.
Users, ranging from home gardeners and residents to farmers, land managers and weeds professionals, 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.
It is important to know if a weed is declared in NSW under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993, and users can see what legal requirements exist in their own local area, and elsewhere in the state.
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.
Features include:
NSW WeedWise was developed with the assistance of the NSW Weeds Action Program.
