Welcome to Pestweb

This is a prototype proof-of-concept to assist you with the identification and control of key pasture insect pests and weeds on New Zealand farms. Only a few sample pests have been loaded into the database at this point in time.

Please note

The weed database currently contains barley grass, Californian thistle, woolly-headed thistle, marsh thistle, Scotch thistle, Paterson's curse and Salvation Jane.
Only barley grass and Californian thistle will result in sample information and advice. All other weeds will result in placeholder "lorem ipsum" text.
The insect database currently contains grass-grub and porina. Sample information and advice has been loaded for both insects.
The e-mail pest alert subscription form is for demonstration purposes only. You cannot actually apply and receive alerts.
