Serrated Tussock National Best Practice Management Manual

Serrated TussockSerrated Tussock National Best Practice Management Manual is a comprehensive, expert‑informed guide for identifying and managing serrated tussock (Nassella trichotoma), one of Australia’s most invasive grassy weeds. It draws on published research, technical expert reviews and land‑manager experience to present best practice approaches to control and reduce the spread of serrated tussock across agricultural, conservation and urban landscapes. The manual includes information on the weed’s biology, identification features and habitat preferences, and provides detailed guidance on integrated weed management strategies, prioritising sites, and using a range of control methods alongside weed hygiene and prevention practices. It is designed as a practical reference for landholders, biosecurity officers and weed management professionals to support effective, evidence‑based actions on the ground.
