As the use of pesticides is a passionately debated subject, it is important to look at the whole picture. The use of chemicals in conjunction with non-chemical alternatives creates an integrated approach to weed management which is not only effective but also sustainable.

• Understand the principles of why we manage vegetation, including the benefits and limitations of doing so

• Understand methods of weed control and why they would be considered

• The evidence behind pesticide use

• Be able to explain the benefits of an integrated approach to weed management

• Consider an integrated weed management approach suitable to a specific location

• Understand risks associated with the use of various control methods
