A recent independent review of the industry-funded Skeleton Weed Program has found
the program has significantly suppressed the spread of the weed in Western Australia,
minimisingpotentialimpactsongrainproduction.
The review, which was commissioned by the Grains, Seeds and Hay Industry Funding
Scheme(IFS),lookedattheeffectiveness,efficiencyandappropriatenessoftheSkeleton
WeedProgram.
Grains, Seeds and Hay IFS management committee chair Rohan Day said the Skeleton
WeedProgramwasfundedbyWAgrain,seedandhaygrowers.

Thereviewfoundthat,althoughskeletonweedhasslowlyspreadinthewheatbeltover
the last few decades, the total number of hectares of infested farmland is low, at
approximately 5260hectares, andinfestations are generally wellbelowlevels thataffect
cropproduction.
The review highlighted that an area of up to 265,000 hectares may become infested
without a coordinated Skeleton Weed Program that facilitates weed surveillance,
containmentandproperty-leveleradication.
The program is delivered by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional
Development.
