Summary

A package of information, resources and manuals have been developed (to draft form) to facilitate enhanced technical weed management information delivery to producers through advisors based on the 3-D principles – Deliberation, Diversity, Diligence. The package is designed for training advisors on how better to deliver weeds management information to producers in a consistent and effective manner and also encourage emphasis on competitive pastures (and) as a basic premise of effective weed management. An active delivery strategy is proposed, to be managed in partnership with other stakeholders in weed management delivery, to facilitate an initial training program for advisors followed by coaching advisors as they deliver weed management workshops to producers before releasing the revised package for general use.
