Northern Australia Quarantine Strategy: Weeds Target List

Description:
This publication was produced by The Bureau of Rural Sciences for 'The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources : Northern Australian Quarantine Service' This second revision of the NAQS weeds target list has been compiled through extensive consultation between the Bureau of Rural Sciences (BRS) and NAQS survey officers. The list is a valuable tool to raise awareness of plants not present, or under eradication in Australia, that have the potential to negatively impact Australia's environmental, agricultural and amenity assets. Highlighting these species will alert communities in Northern Australia to the threat posed by exotic and invasive plants. With increased vigilance for unusual plants, the chances of early detection of invasive species are greatly increased. Early detection in turn increases the chance of eradication success, or the prevention of establishment. This prevention approach is far more cost effective than management of weed infestations after establishment, reinforcing the value of priority target lists
