- Abstract
- It has been observed that the seeds of Chilean needle grass (Nassela neesiana) can be spread by the use of machinery to slash or mow roadsides that are infested with this weed. Modification of slashers by the addition of a cover or deck fans that can prevent seed and/or seed heads settling on the top of the slasher appears to be effective. This project compared the relative effectiveness of each type in a Chliean needle grass infestation at a demonstration day held at Greenvale, Victoria, Australia in November 2009.
