(2) The list of products used by Parks, Conservation and Lands (PCL) is provided in answer to question (1). In relation to application, the algacide and fungicides are used in plant nursery applications and at Floriade; the herbicides are used to control environmental and amenity weeds; insecticides are used to control pest invertebrates such as European Wasps, scale insects and termites; surfactants are used to reduce spray drift and improve herbicide/pesticide uptake; and the pesticides listed at the end of the table are used for control of vertebrate pests such as rabbits, foxes and feral pigs.
(3) The use of the products listed in answer to question (1) varies considerably from season to season. The objective is to minimise use of these products as much as possible while ensuring that all necessary pest and weed control work is carried out.
Glyphosate, simazine and red dye are used routinely for amenity weed control in urban areas.
