Local landholders are being called to help control an invasive weed through a Murraylands & Riverland Landscape Board program
African Lovegrass remains a significant issue for the local landscape board, which if not controlled can cause significant issues for the agricultural industry.
Last year over 60 landholders took park in the control program overseen by the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board, with this year seeing an expanded target area.
Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board District Manager Casey Henderson encouraged eligible landholders with suspected African lovegrass outbreaks to register to participate in the program.
“African lovegrass is a hard-to-control weed so we encourage all landholders in the area with an incursion to take advantage of this initiative.”
“As with all weeds, control works best if we can coordinate neighbouring landholders, so you’re encouraged to talk to surrounding landholders and get them on board too”.
Further information can be found by contacting the landscape board office in Berri.
