      abstract = {The annual economic loss of agricultural production caused  by weeds in Australia has been estimated to exceed $3.3  billion. This loss now approximates the average annual net  value of Australian farm production. In an attempt to  address this problem, the Cooperative Research Centre for  Weed Management Systems (CRCWMS) was established in 1995  under the federal government's cooperative research centre  program. To achieve its goal of reducing the annual costs  of weeds to Australia by at least 10% by the year 2000, the  CRCWMS must demonstrate that its research will benefit both  the farming sector and the overall community. This paper  describes the development of an integrated economic system  for evaluating these benefits and its application in  evaluating  the benefits of controlling a major weed of  Australian grazing systems in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation  Area.},
