2 Mowing a common sight in the community
3 Mowing a common sight in the community
4 Mowing of vegetation is costly, dangerous & needs to be repeated often.
5 Mowing is a high risk activity
6 Mowing also results in significant weed seed dispersal issues, driving up the cost of ongoing management.
7 Bahia grass A management problem in South East Queensland
8 Roadside clippings - unsightly to the community
9 Roadside embankments - difficult to manage situations
10 Centre medians - another hurdle for vegetation managers
11 The current situation 1. Desirable monocultures 2. Mixed species - predominantly desirable 3. Mixed species - predominantly undesirable Each of the above classifications are represented across all managed environments including, roadsides, parklands, natural areas & amenity turf.
12 Tall growing undesirables Bahia grass Paspalum notatum Common Paspalum Paspalum dilatatum Crowsfoot grass Eleusine indica Wire grass Eragrostis tenuifolia Sheda grass Dicanthium annulatum Rhodes grass Chloris gayana Setaria / South African Pidgeon grass Setaria sphacelata Johnson grass Sorghum halepense Green Panic / Guinea grass Megathyrsus maximus Weedy Sporobolus Sporobolus spp.
13 Desirable grasses Green couch Cynodon dactylon Qld Blue Couch Digitaria didactyla Kikuyu Pennisetum clandestinum Buffalo Stenotaphrum secundatum Carpet grass Axonopus fissifolius Centipede grass Eremochloa ophiuroides Seashore Paspalum Paspalum vaginatum? Bahia grass Paspalum notatum
14 Different problems need different solutions Not all undesirables can be managed in the same way Some desirables can be damaged more easily than others Some undesirables are in the same family as desirables In some situations the undesirable becomes a desirable Conclusion there is no silver bullet!
15 A need for change Current practises are not sustainable. Mowing is a costly, dangerous, time consuming and needs to be repeated often, particularly in periods of rapid growth (November February in SE Queensland). Innovative new ways to manage undesirable vegetation must be developed. An integrated vegetation management program (IVMP) is the most effective and efficient approach to making parklands and roadsides safer and more aesthetically appealing.
16 The IVMP model Reduced Mowing Cost Improved quality IVMP Advantages Improved safety Sustainable
17 IVMP objectives 1. A sustainable model for managing mown vegetation in public open spaces 2. Proven strategies for improving the quality of the managed area 3. Proven strategies for the cost effective management of mixed species 4. Cost effective management strategies for areas populated by predominantly undesirable grasses 5. Identification of the plant species most appropriate to a given situation thus reducing inputs, ongoing maintenance requirements and the risk of erosion
18 IVMP benefits The benefits to the asset owner / manager include: Decreased costs for vegetation management Reduced mowing activities = safer operation Decreased mowing labour costs Reduced equipment and maintenance costs Opportunity for Operators to complete other work
19 IVMP benefits The benefits to the public include: Improved aesthetics Improved visibility on and around roads and footpaths Fewer distractions for motorists Reduced possibility of mowers throwing debris Reduced risk of accidents
20 IVMP benefits The benefits to the environment include: Reduced carbon emissions Reduced waste Reduced biomass Improved erosion control Less dust & debris Reduced weed seed spread More efficient water use
21 IVMP = site specific strategies Desirable monoculture Manage monoculture Transition to monoculture Predominantly desirable Transition to desirable dominated Predominantly undesirable grasses Manage undesirable dominated
22 Trials commenced in 2008/09 growing season There is a need to produce a management model at project end as well as hard quantifiable facts to support this model & the need for change. Multiple products/replications over sites in SEQ and NSW including: Open Space Parks Environmentally Sensitive Areas Roadside vegetation Sites are situated in Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sydney regions with State and Local Government asset ownership.
23 Project outputs Specific outputs created by the work being undertaken will include: Best Practise Manual New Application Guidelines Management System New and expanded chemical registrations
24 Project outcomes Three key measurable outcomes have been identified : A 25% reduction in the cost of managing mown vegetation measured by the cost of managing mown vegetation using IVMP model against conventional practises currently in use. A reduction in the risk for all stakeholders (asset owner, manager, user) measured by a risk scorecard methodology. Better environmental management and resource usage measured by reductions in carbon emissions, vegetation biomass and erosion.
