Introducing Technigro - IVMP Lead Partner

Technigro is the lead partner in this collaborative research project. A first for Australia, the IVMP was established with the fundamental aim of finding a better way to manage vegetation.

Mowing is costly, dangerous and resource intensive. With the knowledge that current practices are unsustainable, the clear goal for the IVMP team is to develop a sustainable model for managing mown vegetation in public open spaces, such as parks, reserves and roadsides.

Over 3 years the project will trial innovative strategies using plant growth regulators, herbicides and nutrition, in combination with mowing and other practices, to determine the most economical, environmentally friendly and sustainable approach.
Technigro is proud to partner with other industry leaders as we work to develop smarter solutions that are safer, more cost effective and better for our planet.

Technigro have already begun to utilise an integrated approach to vegetation management on their Road Maintenance Performance Contract with the Department of Main Roads. Read more about the success of this approach on this contract here.
