mistaken for weeds
Reference
Spot spray with 0.5 % glyphosate or metsulfuron methyl 0.2 g/10 L + 25 mL Pulse ® . 248, 21, 228, 167,
242
Dig out taking care to remove all bulbs. Remove and burn or deep bury flower heads to stop spread of seed. Spray with 1 % Grazon ® just
before flowering.
21, 101, 167, 242
Dig out small infestations. Stem inject into base of leaves 1 partTordon ® / 5 parts diesel. (flowers only once, after 10 to 15 years, then dies) 21, 167, 242
Difficult to control as it is a true deep-rooted perennial. Cut roots well below surface. Cultivation can spread plant fragments. Spot spray
with 1 % glyphosate before flowering.
Difficult to hand pull and resistant to chemicals, it is short-lived. Lontrel® ® 10 mL/10 L (500 mL/ha) + Pulse ® in early growth stages.
Glyphosate 1% will control at all growth stages.
A. nodiflora 248, 222, 167, 242
143, 102, 167, 242,
222
30, 167, 242
Hand pull small infestations. 143, 102, 167, 242,
Hand pull small infestations. Metsulfuron-methyl 0.1 g /10 L +100 mL spray oil when flowering. 248, 228, 167, 242
Dig out and destroy single plants before flowering. Suggest Lontrel ® 10 mL/10 L + wetting agent at early rosette stage or 0.5 % glyphosate. 30, 248, 222, 167,
242
Hand pull small infestations. Cut stems to ground level, paint 10 % glyphosate on larger infestations. 241, 167, 242
Physical control where only scattered plants occur. Try 1 % glyphosate. 167, 242, 222
As for C. edulis? C. virescens 167, 242
Roll up large mats removing all roots (shallow-rooted) and stem fragments. Follow up with removal of any germinating plants. Spray with
glyphosate at label rates.
13, 83, 84, 167, 242
Suggest metsulfuron methyl 0.15 g/10 L (5 g/ha) + Pulse ® before flowering. 300, 101, 167, 242
Hand remove small populations (use gloves); Suggest metsulfuron methyl 0.7 g/10 L (20 g/ha) + Pulse ® before flowering or
1 % glyphosate + Pulse ® .
102, 167, 242
Try 1 % glyphosate + Pulse ® . 167, 242, 222
Try 1 % glyphosate + Pulse ® . 167, 242, 222
Try 1 % glyphosate + Pulse ® . 167, 242, 222
Intolerant of dense shade - apply glyphosate at label rate before the fifth leaf stage after this time herbicide is not translocated to tubers.
Difficult to control.
Spray seedlings with glyphosate; established plants will resprout from crown after glyphosate treatment. Seedlings normally only establish
on bare moist soil.
E. billardiereanum,
E. hirtigerum
332, 248, 241, 317,
167, 242
248, 96, 167, 242
Hand remove small isolated infestations. Long tap root. Consider possible dune erosion. 248, 330, 167, 242
Large infestations - spot spray- with herbicide metsulfuron methyl 0.1 g/15 L or metsulfuron methyl + 1 % glyphosate before flowering.
Follow-up with hand removal for at least five years.
Usually found in very disturbed sites; persistent and difficult to eradicate. Spot spray with 1.5 % glyphosate or metsulfuron methyl
0.7 g/10 L (20 g/ha) + Pulse ® . On older plants apply just before flowering. Follow up on seedlings. Seed germinates throughout year;
plants don't flower until around 2 years.
Seedlings establishment restricted by soil cover, litter and competition. Spot spray at flowering (50 % bud - 50 % open flowering - do not
spray after 50 % green bud) with Grazon® ® (triclopyr + picloram) at label rates. Biological control available from CSIRO.
Establish native vegetation cover; dig out isolated plants; spray 2 % glyphosate-repeat application six weeks later. Burning plants after
they have been knocked back by herbicide increases kill rate. Consider possibility of erosion.
