Weed Detection Identification on Farms in Australia - A Guide for Landholders.

What weeds are of most concern to farmers?
Which weeds have the greatest impact on individual farms depends on a range of factors including location (region and State or Territory), seasonal conditions, time of year, and type of farm operation. However, our survey of landholders, with an equivalent number of respondents (over 80) from each State, and over 40 respondents from the Northern Territory, showed that the individual weeds of most concern to landholders nationally are thistles, followed by Paterson?s curse, Bathurst burr and blackberry. More general weed groups of most concern are perennial and annual broadleaf weeds, followed by perennial grasses and woody weeds.
