Optimal Integrated Strategies to Control an Invasive Weed

Abstract: Although there have been numerous studies on the economics of weed control in agriculture, relatively few studies have focused on weeds in natural ecosystems. A stochastic dynamic simulation model and a stochastic dynamic programming model are developed to: (A) identify the combination of control options that is optimal for blackberry (Rubus anglocandicans) in Australian natural ecosystems, (B) assess whether an integrated control strategy is superior to chemical-only strategies, (C) evaluate the net benefits … Show more

“…If natural recovery is to be successful in the wet forests of the Central Highlands, then continued weed control is essential to allow native species to recolonise the space previously occupied by high‐threat weeds; otherwise, high‐threat weed cover will quickly rebound to pretreatment levels. In cases such as these, integrated weed control is often the best option for long‐term weed management (Chalak & Pannell ) and additional methods such as mechanical removal can assist the success of these programmes. However, intensive weed control at landscape scales is expensive and studies such as these can be helpful to determine where and how to prioritise funding so that the most cost‐effective approach is implemented.…”
