Non chemical means to control weeds. Dr Alan Watson and his Weed Research Group have been developing biological weed control strategies using the weed's own natural enemies to control the weed. The goals of Dr Watson's research program are to understand the processes involved in host (weed) pathogen interactions, to investigate mechanisms involved in disease development and weed host response, and to use this knowledge to select, develop, and implement effective, safe, and sustainable means to reduce the negative impact of major noxious weeds in rural, urban, and natural environments.
