Welcome to the orchard weed website

The aim of this site is to collect and share information on insects and organisms observed on weeds.

At the moment, the vast majority of observations are not shared or only shared within a small group.

If we could develop a resource that is continually updated, an incredible resource could be developed.

Researchers, primary industry officers and entomologists could also use this information to help determine and guide their work.

At this stage, it would be fantastic if you could send photos and descriptions of what you are seeing. It doesn't matter if you don't know what type of weed or insect you are observing, just take a picture.
Please include:

• Date
• Weed type or photo
• Where is the weed located and an estimated of weed quantity
• Insect/organisim type or photo
• Description of insect/organism (how many, features, etc)
• If the insect/organism is a pest, decribe any symptoms
• Have the insects been observed on the crop e.g. canopy of orchard trees
