Detecting doggone weeds t’s definitely low-tech but Rusty the dog’s nose for trouble is proving a Ipotentially valuable tool in Waikato’s hunt for the dreaded invasive weed velvetleaf. Rusty, a seven year old border collie specifically trained to detect velvetleaf, flew up from Invercargill last week with his handler John Taylor. He worked with Waikato Regional Council’s biosecurity team on a range of properties to help sniff out the pesky plants which have gained a potentially dangerous foothold in the region. One of the council’s pest plant biosecurity officers Richard Gribble says Waikato landowners have been great at keeping an eye out for velvetleaf and at taking eradication measures when they find the pest plant on their properties. “But the weed can be very hard to spot, especially on large fields with crops like maize and fodder beet, so in those cases we need some special tracker skills like Rusty’s.” Mr Gribble says it’s the first time such a sniffer dog has been used in the region for this purpose so last week’s work was a chance to test out how effective this detection method can be here.
