ONLINE VERSION OF WEEDS OF AUSTRALIA

The Lucid Group (Biological Information Technology) at AUSTRALIA's Univ. of Queensland, now based in the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI), recently was involved with making available an online version of thekey to "Environmental Weeds of Australia". The information
had been previously distributed in a DVD version. Additionally, work is going forward to develop identification tools for invasive weeds, insect pests of maize, and bee pollinators in the East African region. A head start on the work came about as almost 100 weed species are already covered by the Australian weed key so that score database and fact sheets could be utilized as a starting point and modified as needed for local relevancy.
