We all hate weeds in our garden, pastures or lawns, and there are many New Zealand weeds that can affect not only the look of your backyard, but can also have an impact on our environment or health.

A weed is a plant that grows where is it not wanted. Some weeds can be harmful or toxic to humans, while other weeds can be annoying or harmful to New Zealand's environment, including farming, agriculture, forestry and recreational areas.

There are many different ways to control weeds, however the most popular forms of weed control are chemical herbicides, which are chemicals designed to be toxic to specific plants or weeds, and physical control, which includes pulling weeds out by hand or machine.
