NSW Primary Industries [1] and Murrumbidgee Landcare [2] have a National project funded by Meat and Livestock Australia [3] (MLA) and the Australian Wool Industry [4] (AWI) targeting the perennial summer weed Silverleaf Nightshade.

This program needs the cooperation of landholders to establish free ‘dual action’ herbicide trial sites on their farms to test its effectiveness under a range of conditions.  The trials are suitable for small isolated patches of Silverleaf Nightshade to dense infestations and would involve allowing a private contractor access to the nominated areas twice yearly to apply herbicide applications (suitable with their production system) and conduct stem counts.

To register, interested Landholders should conduct:

We need your support to test the ‘dual action’ control method on as many farm sites as possible
