Silverleaf nightshade is a deep rooted, summer active perennial closely related to horticultural crops such as tomatoes and eggplants, making biological control problematic. The extensive root system, up to several metres in width and depth, poses a large problem for control.
NSW Primary Industries and Murrumbidgee Landcare have a new collaborative project funded by Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) which will target the perennial summer weed Silverleaf Nightshade (SLN) across the five states of Q’ld, NSW, Victoria, SA and WA.
