Skeleton Weed Alert From NSW Agriculture Instructor Bowmaker
Agriculture official Mr Bowmaker warns skeleton weed as the most serious menace to NSW wheat farms. He notes its smothering habit, high reproduction, and resistance to eradication, with outbreaks on the South-western Slopes Riverina and Central Western slopes posing a major agricultural threat.
