Tropical Soda Apple Best Practice Manual is a practical, land‑manager‑focused guide produced to support the identification, control and prevention of the invasive weed Solanum viarum (tropical soda apple) in Australia. It offers clear advice for landholders, livestock producers, weed officers and other stakeholders on how to recognise the plant, understand its biology and impacts, apply effective control and disposal methods, and reduce the risk of spread through livestock, machinery, fodder and other carriers. The manual is based on current research, legislative requirements and many years of on‑ground experience in managing this aggressive weed under NSW conditions.
