The weed control app includes:

  • control recommendations for over 100 declared plant species
  • chemical and non-chemical treatments
  • information on the safe use of herbicides
  • colour photographs of each species for identification.

The weed control app provides information from the Weed Control Handbook for Declared Plants in South Australia. In addition app users can:

  • record the location of weeds
  • keep a personal log of control activities
  • phone or email regional Natural Resource officers
  • send photos and text of high risk weeds.

The app will be updated annually as chemical uses and plant declarations change.

The SA Weed Control app is produced by Biosecurity SA in partnership with the eight Natural Resource Management regions and is available from Google Play (for Andriod devices) or iTunes App Store (for Apple devices) or at http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/biosecurity.
