The project
In this project we refine the approach to assessing and predicting the effect of endemic plants. By demonstrating the benefits of replacing weeds with low-risk native plant species we can offer an additional/alternative strategy for land managers to reduce their weeds.
• aims to evaluate property size native plant refuges,
• identify new potential biocontrol agents
• develop a more detailed understanding of how to manipulate the system to provide maximum grower benefits.
• develop a screening system for low risk plants
