1. About the app

Weed ID Deck NT ("the App") is a free mobile reference application published by the Northern Territory Government, Weed Management Branch ("we", "us", “our”). It is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

The app is based on the Northern Territory Weed ID Deck, 3rd Edition (2021), updated May 2026, and is designed to assist landholders, land managers, rangers and the general public with identifying declared weed species in the Northern Territory of Australia and understanding recommended management methods.

By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to be bound by these Terms of use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Permitted use

You may use the app for personal, non-commercial reference and information purposes, or for use within your organisation for non-commercial purposes, provided that:

  • Appropriate acknowledgement is made to the Northern Territory Government, Weed Management Branch; and
  • The information obtained from the app is not altered or misrepresented.

You must not make any other use of the app or its content (including copying, reproducing, or distributing it in any form) without obtaining prior written permission from the Weed Management Branch.

3. Disclaimer of accuracy and currency

The app is made available for information purposes only. While we have taken reasonable care to ensure that the information is accurate and current at the time of publication, we give no warranty or assurance and make no representation that:

  • the information is complete, accurate, or up to date;
  • the information is suitable for your intended use or purpose;
  • weed species information, distribution data, or control recommendations are consistent with the most current edition of the Northern Territory Weed Management Handbook.

Information may change over time. You remain responsible for satisfying yourself as to the accuracy, completeness, and currency of any information you rely upon from the app. For definitive and up-to-date information, refer to the Northern Territory Weed Management Handbook and contact the Weed Management Branch if you have any further questions.

4. Chemical use warning

Important — Herbicide and Chemical Information:

Users of agricultural or veterinary chemical products must always read the approved label and any Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) Permit before using any product, and must strictly comply with the directions on the label and any conditions on the Permit.

Users are not absolved from compliance with label directions or Permit conditions by reason of any statement made in or omission from this App or its underlying publication.

Treatment time intensity values shown in the app (The darker the box, the more suitable that period is for weed treatment) should be verified against the current NT Weed Management Handbook. Some species marked "REPORT IMMEDIATELY" have no treatment calendar as they require specialist response.
