The decision, an attempt to unseat Ms Trad and destabilise the government, was agreed to at a meeting of the party's state executive in Townsville on Friday.
The state executive agreed to a motion, from president David Hutchinson, to place Ms Trad last in her inner-city electorate of South Brisbane, or in any other seat she contested.
The controversial move will mean the LNP will direct preferences to the Greens ahead of Labor.
There was a 10 per cent swing away from Labor to the Greens' candidate Amy MacMahon in the electorate at the November 2017 election, with Ms Trad winning by 3.6 per cent on the back of LNP preferences.
Mr Hutchinson said LNP preferences kept Ms Trad in her job at the last election.
"Next time, our preferences will support the jobs of thousands of regional Queenslanders who rely on the resource sector to support themselves and their families," he said.
Mr Hutchinson said the decision was not taken lightly, accusing the Greens of being a danger to the resources sector and regional jobs.
However, he said Ms Trad was a "far greater danger" in cabinet.
LNP leader Deb Frecklington supported the move, saying Ms Trad, a Left powerbroker, was as "Green as Green" and "anti-jobs".
Former opposition leader Tim Nicholls, now a backbencher, defended pushing for the LNP to preference the Greens last in Ms Trad's seat before the last state election.
"While Labor's priorities for QLD are all wrong, The Greens are even worse," he wrote on social media.
The LNP put the Greens last on its how-to-vote cards in seats across the state at the last Queensland election.
However, former LNP premier Campbell Newman backed in the LNP state executive's plan as "astute and timely", arguing Ms Trad was "worse than the Greens" and had the power to implement her policies.
On Facebook, Ms Trad said: "Of course the LNP want to get rid of me."
"I'm the only one in South Brisbane who can stop them," she wrote.
Ms Trad also took aim at Ms Frecklington's claims she was "anti-jobs", pointing out she was in government when Mr Newman shed 14,000 public servants.
"We are unashamedly pro-jobs in all industries - 180k jobs in 4yrs & without selling assets," she tweeted.
Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch said it was no surprise the LNP was targeting Ms Trad.
"She was the one that did stand up to Campbell Newman and the LNP to protect our assets," she said.
"And to also not see Queensland going backwards with what were on many occasions very draconian laws."
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk accused the opposition of having the "wrong priorities", arguing they should be discussing flood recovery and jobs in Townsville.
Queensland Greens convenor Duncan Munro said the party was not focused on how the LNP allocated its preferences.
"We will be putting the LNP and One Nation last, as we have done for years," he said.
The next state election will be held on October 31, 2020, or 603 days from Friday.
