Control and Survey of Lantana in the Ord River Irrigation Area

This project will map for the first time the distribution of Lantana (a Weed of National Significance) on small agricultural and rural/residential blocks just north of Kununurra in WA, where its density and distribution is beginning to substantially increase. The project will then initiate a control program, in partnership with landholders, as a component of an ongoing program of control. The project aims to restrict the distribution of the weed to this one area in the East Kimberley and to reduce the density of the weed, with the longer term aim of preventing further spread and eradicating it from the area.
