Exploring ways to control Giant Rat’s Tail grass
Giant Rat’s Tail grass has become a significant weed, spreading across many coastal and sub-coastal regions of Queensland. In some areas, GRT infestations have dramatically decreased livestock producers’ economic viability and lowered their land values. Current infestations are collectively costing the pastoral industry in the vicinity of $60 million per annum through lost production and control.
