Abstract
The Weed Management Branch (WMB) have completed development of the new Weed Management Plan Siam Weed 2025 – 2035 (the plan) in accordance with Section 10 of the Weeds Management Act 2001 (the Act). Siam weed (Chromolaena odorata) is classified as a Class B declared weed (growth and spread to be controlled).
Siam weed was first detected growing in the Northern Territory (NT) in July 2019. Since this time the Northern Territory Government (NTG) WMB have been responding to this detection in conjunction with landholders. Siam weed is known as one of the most aggressive and damaging tropical weeds species worldwide and has been the subject of eradication programs in other Australian jurisdictions in the past.,
