Whilst it doesn’t eradicate the plant completely (no biocontrol will), it will help to contain it without the use of chemicals or labour.

Weed control staff are currently managing an infestation of Chilean needle grass in Knudsen Reserve in Angus. This work requires a good eye to identify plants amongst other grass species. It produces a distinctive seed head that is purple in colour and used for positive identification. Further treatments are required to continue to manage this infestation as new plants germinate.

Weed Watch: Water buttons

Three sites have been identified across our county council area. With the recent rain this plant can be found around dams and beside roadside ditches. This plant can easy spread by fragments and water and can easily outcompete other vegetation as it sprawls along the ground.

Staff will commence control of two roadside locations, and one located on council land over the coming weeks.

Plant profile can be found at:
