User's notes
Regrowth of some areas previously treated for this weed, Black Nightshade seedlings, together with some Patterson's curse. Nip this in the bud with a quick herbicide application. Along Clancy's track, growing underneath Cherry Ballarat trees (Exocarpus). Administrator can you please also transfer this sighting to the relevant Weed Mapping App.

Thanks Max that is one of the sites where we hand weeded as part of our experiment "Tackling Cleavers (and other nutrient loving exotics) under Native Cherry trees" which involved hand weeding, a combination of hand weeding and herbicide application, and herbicide application only. We then followed up at some sites with either direct seeding / planting of local Weeping grass seeds (I would have loved more direct seeding but it is hard to source the seeds and they are expensive) or just monitoring. Native ground cover grew in at a number of sites and no follow up was required.

https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/12141, I'm not sure what you mean by "the relevant Weed Mapping App"; certain weed species including the nightshade are automatically uploaded from CNM to Field Maps / Not-Treated Weeds; of course the upload is a (photo) point not a polygon.
