24.01.2022 People need to be aware that weed hygiene is critical for our agricultural sector. Your vehicle/machinery may look like a shiny penny from the outside but weed seeds can hide in all sorts of places. Are you fully aware of your responsibilities when driving on land owners property? Is your current weed hygiene inspection provider insured? Our staff are fully trained in conducting weed hygiene inspections and we are fully insured. Do the right thing and help stop the spread of weed seeds.

21.01.2022 What’s in that mud on your boot? Soils and mud are full of millions of amazing organisms. Most of them do great work to help plants grow, store carbon and break... down dead plant material (creating compost). Some soil-borne organisms though, like root-knot nematode, can cause serious damage to plants. Nematodes are microscopic worm-like creatures that live in soils, in and around plant roots and tubers. This image shows a mass of root-knot nematode eggs erupting from a sweet potato root. The female is inside the root in the swelling underneath. Good biosecurity practices, such as minimising the spread of soil and mud on vehicles entering your property, can reduce the likelihood of soil-borne pests entering your place and affecting your plants.

20.01.2022 Oops-a-daisy Singapore daisy (Sphagneticola trilobata) is a vigorous ground cover that spreads rapidly and out-competes native plants. In Queensland, it also invades lawns, irrigated areas, and areas around drains. To remove Singapore daisy, hand-pull and dig up runners, ensuring you dispose of waste carefully, as the smallest cutting can regrow.... Find out how to control Singapore daisy.

05.01.2022 What’s the deal with buying/selling backyard banana plants? Moving banana plants is a biosecurity risk, as this can spread serious banana diseases like bana...na bunchy top, black Sigatoka or Panama TR4. With 94% of Australia’s bananas grown right here in Queensland, these diseases have the potential to impact our industry. There are biosecurity zones in the north and south of Queensland (https://bit.ly/biosecurity_zones), which restrict the movement of banana plants into and out of the zones by law, but if you're not sure if there are any movement restrictions that apply to your local area, or if you’d like more details, just give us a call on 13 25 23. We all have a general biosecurity obligation (http://bit.ly/_GBO) to take practical measures to minimise biosecurity risks, so: don’t buy or sell your backyard banana plants online, or even share them with your friends source your banana planting materials from accredited suppliers, not private sellers on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree etc. dispose of any unwanted plants by thorough composting, or use the local council green waste collection/Waste Transfer Station (check with your local council first).
