Summary

Despite project delays due to drought, the most effective treatment was found to be Graslan granules at 1.5kg per ha. This treatment killed 100 percent of bean bush infestation, but did not kill grasses. Ploughing and slashing was found to be an ineffective control mechanism, and prohibitively expensive.
