This paper uses Social Practice Theory (SPT) as a framework to understand how cropping land managers engage with the practices of AWWM, and what the drivers and barriers are to their participation.
Weed movement tracked to help inform management plans
DNA detective work is helping to better understand and map the movement of key weed species in a bid to improve management and direct future research.
Understanding social attitudes related to the success of area-wide weed management
The need for weed management to work effectively across property and institutional boundaries, means that an in-depth understanding of the attitudes, practices and relationships of various actors involved in weed management is needed.
