User's notes
Example of the benefit of using the remote controlled tritter (mower):
Parks and Biosecurity Rangers can now use remote controlled tritter mowers as a non-herbicide primary control for blackberry, St John’s wort and woody weeds. This reduces the amount of herbicide required for subsequent follow-up control to kill the invasive plant species.
There are several advantages with this approach:
• Less off-target damage from herbicide use in the primary control treatment
• Less herbicide required for follow-up control to kill the invasive plant
• Cost savings
• Safer for the Ranger
The remote controlled tritter machines are expected to pay for themselves within three years of use, from avoided herbicide and contractor costs.
In this sighting of blackberry, there is a photo showing the before and after control work using the remote controlled tritter machine.
