Large area previously partly treated in July - see FieldMaps. Now there are occasional large plants and some areas with many small plants, still to be treated.

I suggest some M@F volunteers start from uphill cutting the large seeding STs and bag the seed heads and someone sprays the lot using a knapsack. The Number one action is to remove seeds from site; the STs are too numerous to spray with handheld spray bottles. Outlayers can be cut and sprayed with hand held bottle or chipped. I also think there should be direct seeding following the treatment because it is a rather large patch.

Not sure that the small tussocks shown in pic 4 are serrated tussock. Some had previously been sprayed with glyphosate in July and were dead, some more sprayed on 2 Dec, and large ones cut and seed heads bagged and then sprayed.
