    Alternative Strategy: Experimenting with polymer coated fertilisers that can be placed in the planting hole in direct contact with the root ball. Early indications are that this may lead to rapid initial growth and hence reduce the need for post plant weed control and browsing animal control.

    Alternative Strategy: Together with the Site Management Research Co-op, certificate holders optimised area and duration of spot treatment of weeds in radiata pine. A decision support for weed management during establishment is available („V-MAN‟). Future Forests Research supports research on management of radiata pine or diverse species

    Alternative Strategy: On second rotations sites weed control begins prior to final harvesting with the aim of removing woody weeds and reducing weed seed loadings before site preparation commences. Under canopy treatment is standard practice which significantly reduces the potential for off site chemical

    Alternative Strategy: A stem-boring weevil, Rhinoncomimus latipes was determined to be host-specific to mile-a-minute weed and its host specificity was later validated in a field test with closely related members of the Polygonaceae, in field cages, weevils were shown to delay seed production, stunt plants by causing loss of apical dominance, and cause mortality of P. perfoliata in the presence of competing vegetation

    Alternative Strategy: Mycoherbicides are microbial pathogens which (ideally) control certain introduced plants selectively. Many rusts are highly host-specific, affecting only few or a single plant species. Besides the fungus Fusarium tumidum which attacks gorse, mycoherbicides include the rust Puccinia chondrillina that successfully controls skeleton weed (Davenhill 1997), the rust Phragmidium violaceum used against blackberry (Rubus) species (Julien & Griffiths 1998), and the fungus Chondrostereum purpureum which for control of stump sprouting of broad-leaved trees (Becker 2005).

    Alternative Strategy: Cultivation (ploughing): Site cultivation can improve growth conditions by disturbance of existing pest plants, cultivation of the soil and compaction relief. However it does not avoid herbicide use as cultivation also stimulates competing weed vegetation. Used in combination with an appropriate herbicide application, site cultivation can reduce the number of herbicide applications required.
