Canty weed guide
The City Council’s Internet website includes a spot with
information about plants which are, or could soon become, pests
in and around the city. The site — at www.ccc.govt.nz/Environment/Weeds/
— has pictures to help identify weeds that are specific to
Christchurch and information about how to distinguish weeds
from similar looking plants. It also has information about the current status of each species,
such as if it is covered by a pest-management strategy, some
general guidance on control methods and a list of locally useful
references. The site explains that not all plants it identifies are regarded as
a weed in all situations. The Christchurch Weed Guide does not include every single
weed, although there is a link for people who wish to suggest
additions, or detailed control methods, such as recommendations
for particular herbicides. |
