Weeds Management

Chilean Needle Grass
Chilean Needle Grass

Weeds are a major problem in the City of Greater Shepparton. Described as ‘a plant out of place’, weeds can be categorised into three main groups – noxious, agricultural or environmental, and are extremely expensive to control.

As a landholder, become familiar with weeds in the region, and control them on your property and adjacent roadside.
