7.2.2 Current Distribution Factor 2 — What is the number of infestations?
7.2.3 Current Distribution Factor 3 — What is the general accessibility of infestations?
7.3 Control Costs criterion
7.3.1 Control Costs Factor 1— How detectable is the weed?
7.3.2 Control Costs Factor 2 — How expensive is treatment of weed infestations?
7.3.3 Control Costs Factor 3 — How much effort is required to achieve long-term landholder involvement in coordinated control of the weed?
7.4 Duration criterion
7.4.1 Duration Factor 1 — What is the efficacy of control treatments applied to weed infestations?
7.4.2 Duration Factor 2 — What is the level of reproduction in the weed infestation under targeted control?
7.4.3 Duration Factor 3 — What is maximum longevity of seeds or vegetative propagules?
7.4.4 Duration Factor 4 — What is the likelihood of ongoing propagule dispersal?
7.5 Calculate feasibility of coordinated control score
