User's notes

a rather smallish patch of Chilean needle grass with approx 15 plants flowering and developing seeds; this patch has been monitored using Fieldmap twice; the first monitoring seemed to have been lost from Fieldmap.

The Jan 2021 sighting says 1-3 plants; now you have 15. Mattock and a bag would be a good response if ACT Biosecurity can't get to it before seed matures. What I saw at Tidbinbilla today still had immature seed, but it won't be long before it matures.

Its a better photo than the one I took there, Waltraud! That's why it is "liked"...

I started to cut developing seed heads off and bagged them then sprayed the tussocks; unfortunately, I'm too sick and weak to hack out the remaining tussocks. I hope someone can help.

Mike, you were right it is now a patch of about 15m2.
we mapped several times with Field Maps, the last time on 28 Nov 2022; earlier Field Maps mapping data from the previous financial year disappeared. I feel better and hope to start treating it soon.
