Weeds are one of the natural environment's primary threats. They destroy native habitats, threaten plants and animals, and choke biological systems such as forests and rivers. This impacts many Australians, either directly or indirectly. Weeds can decrease forest and farm productivity, invade crops, and cause harm to pastures and livestock. They also create material and labour costs for land and water managers. It's time to eradicate weeds now.

Many native vegetation communities suffer from weeds or are vulnerable to exotic species that can change the environment regarding structure, fire frequency, and species composition. Weeds can cause widespread damage, disturb the environment, and create conditions that better suit the weed than the native plants. They often grow faster than the native species, competing successfully for resources. They may also replace the plants that animals use for food, shelter, and nesting. Time to eradicate weeds!

Weeds impact agriculture

Weeds also harm agriculture. They are aggressive water, sunlight, and nutrients, often leading to reduced crop yield and quality. They can contaminate food products, causing issues such as discoloured flour, tainted milk and meat from animals that eat weeds such as wild garlic, and even killing horses in some cases. Weeds can also affect the operation of farm equipment.

Finally, weeds harm human health. Common weeds such as ragweed, parthenium weed, and privet can cause respiratory problems, even asthma. Some can cause skin irritation, and some are poisonous if ingested. Certain water weeds can affect drinking water quality.
