Hoary cress is a very competitive weed that can significantly reduce crop yields and is difficult to eradicate. Each year the estimated total damage to WA cereal industries from uncontrolled hoary cress is up to $6.2 million.

North Stirlings Pallinup Natural Resources Inc partnered with DAFWA to deliver best practice management information through a workshop to increase awareness and identification information about hoary cress and other weeds to empower landholders with knowledge to report any suspect plants.

This complemented the NSPNR project "Emerging weeds and their management in the North Stirlings Pallinup" (A15148).
