Managing weeds and work areas
WeedManager can be used at a range of levels from simple recording of completed weed control activities through to identifying weeds, monitoring weeds, assigning control activities to volunteers or contractors, recording controls which have been carried out and the time taken and monitoring the effect or outcome from that control. The first step is to record a target weed as an area (polygon), line or circle (point).
Adding a weed to be managed
Click on the Weeds tab under your project title, then click on Add new …. A list options will appear, choose Weed.
WeedManager will zoom out to show your entire project and you will see the weed entry form and map tools. Zoom in and pan to where the target weed occurs. Choose the map tool to either draw a polygon, line or circle marker to identify the location of the target weed. The example below shows data entry where 30% of the area is covered in 2m high adult blackberry. Save to finish data entry.
The screenshot below shows multiple weeds which need to be managed. An area of blackberry, a patch or agapanthus, and a line of gorse.
Using work areas
Work areas are used to group weeds, or weed patches, in an area. Work areas can then be assigned to volunteers or contractors for management. Work areas can overlap or be nested inside larger work areas.
You can add a work area before or after adding a weed. Any new weeds added within the bounds of a work area are automatically included as part of the work area.
- Under the Weeds tab in your project, click Add new…. A list options will appear in a drop down menu.
- Select Work area from the list.
- Under Create Work area give the area a Name.
- Zoom in to the area you wish to define as a work area.
- Choose the polygon map tool to draw the boundaries of your work area.
- Click Save to finish data entry.
The work area will appear as a blue lined polygon. The example below shows a work area with three species of weeds.
Selecting a weed for action
Under the Weed tab you will see your map with a list of weeds in your project area with a filter tool.
Filter by weed species
You can filter the list of weeds by species to assign or record a management action. Click in the Species box and begin typing to only display selected weed species.
Once your weed species has appeared, click on Filter weeds. The list below will show only the chosen species.
Apply a management action to a weed
Once you have selected the weed(s) you can choose a management action:
- Delete weeds: delete a weed
- Add Control: allocate or record a control
- Assign members: assign a member to that weed
- Add Check: records a monitoring check to track the effectiveness of control
Controlling weeds
- Select Add Control from the drop down menu and click
Apply to select items.
- Check the Date, choose the State of the action (either Pending or Completed), add Assigned members.
- Select the Control type from the menu (Chemical, Mechanical, or Other) and provide the additional details required for the method chosen.
- Notes can be added to describe additional details.
For a Completed chemical control action, this becomes a record of application or spray diary entry. Factors critical to that aside from who, where and what is how much and what were the conditions. This information can be also be added as shown on the right. The Chemical Volume Applied is the total amount of spray mix used for the action.
Once you have entered the information click on Apply to save the record. You can see the record by clicking on the weed under the weeds tab. To go back to that tab click on My Projects then click on your project and click on the weed.
The screenshot below shows the record as Pending action. This can be updated to Completed by clicking on the date for the record.
Using a Work area to select weeds for an action
A work area can be used to group a number of weeds into an area for management by volunteers or contractors. Under the Weed tab your map, and a list of weeds will appear in your project area with a filter tool.
Filter by Work area
- Click in the Work area box and select a work area.
- Click the Filter weeds button.
- The list below will show only the weeds occurring in that work area.
- Select (tick) the weeds you wish to apply an action to (control, check, assign or delete)
Assign member
A member of the project can be assigned to a specific weed, or the weeds within a work area. You can assign a member to a weed in three different ways:
Applying an action on the project home page:
- Select the weeds you wish to assign, choose Assign members as your action and click Apply to selected items
- Choose a member(s) you wish to assign and click Apply.

Using the App
The WeedManager app is designed to be used in the field. It provides a map of the management area and the ability to update management actions in the field.
App overview
The WeedManager App is a companion to the WeedManager.NZ website. The app enables weed locations, density, controls, and checks on controls to be entered while in the field (including areas without cellphone coverage).
You can download the App from the Play Store or the Apple App Store.
Before you can use the app you need to create an account on WeedManager.NZ and join a project. Once you have an account on the website, you can use your email address and password to log into the App.
If you created a new project, rather than joining an existing project, you must also create a herbicide mix on the website before you can apply a chemical control.
When you first log in to the app you will be shown a list of projects you are a member of. Select one and you will be taken to the main map screen:
Use the
icon at bottom right to add a weed or feature,
- the
icon at bottom left to add a control or check to an existing weed, and
- the
icon pressed will show your location on the map (you must allow WeedManager access to your location using the GPS on your mobile device).
Adding a weed or feature
When adding a weed or feature you have the option of adding a line, polygon, circle marker (point), or using a GPS track:
Tap on and select the shape you want to add, tap on the map to draw or drop a point. You can move points or line vertices after you have added them by touching and dragging the vertex.
Once you have added the shape you can tap the Tick symbol to bring up the weed or feature entry form:
Use the tabs at the top switch from adding weed to a feature. When you have entered the information you need to press and hold the save button - the button will turn green and the form will disappear when the weed or feature has been saved / added. If you have added a weeds you can now select that weed and apply a control or a check.
Adding a control or check
To add a control or check, zoom or pan the map so that the location of the weeds you wish to add is visible. When you Press the
button at the bottom left it will turn into a
(press the X if you wish to cancel adding).
Next, either tap a single weed or drag your finger across the weeds that you want to add a control or check to - A rectangular guide will show the area of weeds to be selected:
Make sure the weeds you want to select are completely within the rectangle. When you take your finger off the screen the selected weeds will be highlighted. Tap the
to add a control or check.
Use the tabs at the top switch from adding a control to a check. When you have entered the information you need to press and hold the save button - the button will turn green and the form will disappear when the control or check has been added - it will be applied to all weeds selected.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
You can record the PPE you have used when carrying out a chemical control. A drop down list is available for both mixing and application phases of the task. The list is shown below. You can tick none or all of the listed items.
Using the GPS to record weed locations and add a control
This function could be used to prepare a digital spray diary entry out in the field during or after a control has been applied.
Go to your phone settings and turn “Location” or “GPS” to “on” When you first start Weedmanager you will be asked to allow access to you phone’s location. Tap on the option which suits you (normally the middle one on the right).
The mapping tools are shown to the left. Move close to where you wish to record and maybe control a weed. Clicking the icon will zoom the project map to your location. When you wish to start recording your location tap the black man on the mapping tools menu.
The man will turn green and GPS tracking will be live.
Once tracking is live you will be able see where you have been. When you want to stop recording your location, tap on the green tick.
When you tap on the green tick a Weed form will appear on the App. Fill that out, Save and the track will turn yellow. Note that a weed name now appears on the screen as shown on the right.
Tap on the button (bottom left). The red
and green
will appear. Select the yellow track by tapping on it. The track will turn white. Tap on the
and the Control or Check form will appear for you to fill out. Fill in the control or check details, tap and hold the SAVE button until it turns green. Note that once you been through the process once the App will autofill the next control form.

Map feeds
Weedmanager provides a range of map feeds in OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) formats which can be linked directly into GIS tools such as ArcGIS, Google Earth and Google Maps, QuantumGIS etc.
To access the feeds you first need to generate an API key.
Generating an API key
In the My account section of Weedmanager, you can generate an API key that’s associated with your user account. It can only be used for map feeds (which are read-only), and it can be changed any time by generating a new key, which will disable any previously used keys.
Accessing map feeds
Map feed addresses are in the format:https://io.weedmanager.nz/geo/wm/wfs/apikey/project_id
and https://io.weedmanager.nz/geo/wm/wfs/apikey/project_id
for WFS and WMS feeds respectively.
The Project ID is the last part of the URL when you select your project in Weedmanager.
i.e. when you select the project after logging in, the URL will look something like https://weedmanager.nz/group/123456
, and in this case, the Project ID will be 123456.
Note: Some of the map feeds apply to all the projects you are a member of. If you are using those feeds, you still need to select a default project. It doesn’t matter which one.
So for a test user and project the WFS feed looks like this:https://io.weedmanager.nz/geo/wm/wfs/35GElj7FEyGB-gpalO5ptgcEjxmNe7QaOiJNbEPZmSU/123456
(you must generate your own key under the My Account section of the Weedmanager website)
You can paste these URLs into your GIS system and it will show you the available layers.
The layers currently available are:
- default-project-tracks
All tracks from the project specified in the URL - default-project-weeds-all-geometries
All current weeds from the project specified in the URL (combined geometries - only useful for GIS tools that can handle multiple geometry types) - default-project-weeds-linestrings
All current weed lines from the project specified in the URL - default-project-weeds-points
All current weed points from the project specified in the URL - default-project-weeds-polygons
All current weed polygons from the project specified in the URL - default-project-work-areas
Work areas from the project specified intheURL - my-projects-tracks
All tracks from the projects you have access to - my-projects-weeds-all-geometries
All current weeds from from the projects you have access to (combined geometries - only useful for GIS tools that can handle multiple geometry types) - my-projects-weeds-linestrings
All current weed lines from the projects you have access to. - my-projects-weeds-points
All current weed points from the projects you have access to - my-projects-weeds-polygons
All current weed polygons from the projects you have access to - my-projects-work-areas
Work areas from the projects you have access to
Notes
- The WFS server is set to return a maximum of 10k features per page request. Therefore you must set a page size value smaller than that. We suggest 5k to begin with.
Downloading shape files, CSV, linking into Google Earth etc
The map server allows access to WGS 84 and NZTM projections and can also output in many different formats with:
https://io.weedmanager.nz/geo/wm/wfs/apikey/project_id?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=layer&outputFormat=format
Output formats:
GML2 |
|
GML3 |
|
Shapefile |
|
JSON |
|
JSONP |
|
CSV |
|
KML |
|
e.g. to get a shapefile of trap locations:
https://io.weedmanager.nz/geo/wm/wfs/apikey/project_id?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=wm:default-project-weeds-points&outputFormat=shape-zip
KML (you can link this directly into Google Earth):
https://io.weedmanager.nz/geo/wm/wfs/apikey/project_id?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=wm:default-project-weeds-points&outputFormat=application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml
CSV:
https://io.weedmanager.nz/geo/wm/wfs/apikey/project_id?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=wm:default-project-weeds-points&outputFormat=csv
You can also view features directly in OpenLayers:
https://io.weedmanager.nz/geo/wm/wfs/apikey/project_id?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=wm:default-project-weeds-points&bbox=174.94,-41.5,174.95,-41&width=708&height=768&srs=EPSG:4326&format=application/openlayers
Notes:
The WFS server is set to return a maximum of 10k features per request. If you have more that, you will need to use software (e.g. ArcGIS Pro, or QuantumGIS) to page requests, or include count
and startindex
parameters . See the WFS specification.
The shapefile format has a number of limitations - see the Geoserver documentation. Datetime fields are not supported - only the date will be included.
