Abstract/Contents:Profiles starweed, stating that "although primarily used in the upper North Island [of New Zealand], the use of starweed is gradually extending." Mentions potential challenges of using starweed, including "thatch/layering (mixed greens)"; "Cotula weevil (mixed greens)"; "weeds (Colobanthus, onehunga, pearlwort)"; "dagger nematode"; and "Sclerotina minor." Concludes that "with starweed there is still much to learn. Research and greenkeeper's trialing of different management strategies are the keys to manage these...challenges."
