@waltraud do you consider it necessary to cut serrated tussock before spraying? It is very time consuming, especially with big infestations.

hi Mike
I started to do this because some of them are huge and non-target damage would be unavoidable; I try to avoid damage of non target because the ST would quickly fill gaps again, I began concurrently ST control at project sites and immediate surrounds where I hand-weed other weeds - the ST treatment even with this labor-intensive method was the least time compared to the time it took to hand control the other weeds.
FoMMs understanding was always that Parks controls at least some of the WoNS and transformer weeds such as ST & CNG but I'm afraid it requires more time to push Parks than to do yourself even by employing the labor-intensive method of cut before spray.
And the times when I roamed the mountain with full knapsacks are over - I can only do small amounts at a time...
