Herbicides and their application for the control of mimosa in the Northern Territory, Australia (original) (raw)

There is a wide range of habits in which mimosa, Mimosa pigra L., can effectively colonise, and the selection of a herbicide and application technique must be appropriate to the situation. There are several interacting factors that can influence the effectiveness of a herbicide and the application technique including environmental, infestation characteristics and human resourcing issues. There are effective herbicides that are currently not registered for use in the Northern Territory and this limits the availability of choices in some situations. The registration of these options should be a priority.
