Control of Serrated Tussock
Serrated Tussock is an invasive noxious weed of pasture with significant impact on the quality of the pasture and livestock. Its presence greatly affects land value.
Livestock are unable to digest the plant due to its high fibre and low protein content, resulting in a loss of condition and in extreme cases starvation Serrated Tussock is a prolific seeder and propagates through germination of their seeds. Serrated Tussock is typically treated with Flupropanate or Glyphosate. Issue with Flupropanate includes its very high toxicity. Glyphosate kills the plant, but not the seeds and therefore will not effectively control this invasive weed.
FireHawk Bioherbicide was applied as a 500ml FireHawk /10L water spray mixture for the spot spraying application. Used a medium sizes sprayer on a four-wheeler with two remote hand sprayers. Sprayed into centre of plant and over seeds as seeds were already developed. Resprayed minor regrowth from roots and germinated seeds from seed bank in soil after 4 weeks. The second spray established weed control. Touched up as required to maintain result as seeds in soil germinated over longer period of time. FireHawk Bioherbicide delivers effective control of Serrated Tussock. It not only desiccates the Serrated Tussock plants but also desiccates their prolific seeds and stops them from germination. This gives FireHawk an edge over other herbicides like glyphosate that typically desiccate the plants but not the seeds. In addition to its desiccation performance,
