Summary
In November 1998 a broom management workshop was held with this title. The workshop aimed to review the status of broom as a weed, from biogeographic, ecological and economic perspectives, assess the efficacy of available control options, and to start the development of integrated strategies for broom control under a range of situations. Following formal presentations a workshopping session was conducted aimed at developing best-bet management strategies for broom in a range of typical situations where broom needs to be managed. This was followed by a general discussion. The contexts of this workshop, the developed 'best bet' strategies and outcomes of this workshop session are outlined in this paper.
