SA Weed Risk Management System

The SA Weed Risk Management System was developed to help in prioritising weeds for control programs. A series of questions are answered to compare the relative risk and feasibility of control of different weeds. A scoring system is used  to help in make standard, informed decisions on weed control priorities. Weeds are assessed separately for various land uses, so that the most important weeds of different land uses can be identified. The system can be broadly applied to many geographic scales and for any land use. The system is explained in the SA Weed Risk Management Guide (PDF ).
