N HANDLEIDING OOR DIE BIOLOGIESE BEHEER VAN INDRINGER HAKEA SPESIES
Summary
This 2021 guide by the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) details the control of four invasive Hakea species in South Africa. It advocates for an integrated management approach combining mechanical removal, limited chemical use (Tebuthiuron), and biological control using specific insects and fungi to manage these prohibited category 1b weeds.
Key insights
- Four Hakea species were introduced from Australia to South Africa between 1835 and 1858. Three of these—syhakea (Hakea sericea), rotshakea (Hakea gibbosa), and soethakea (Hakea drupacea)—are declared category 1b weeds under NEMBA:IAS regulations and are prohibited. A fourth species, wilgehakea (Hakea salicifolia), is only a category 1b invader in the Western Cape.
