Weed Control Division
What is a weed? Most
simply stated, a weed is a plant out of place. It is the name
that humans have placed on "undesirable" plants that interfere
with our land management objectives. A plant may be a weed in one
place but an acceptable plant in another (example: St. Johnswort
& Purple Loosestrife). Noxious weeds are weeds that, by law,
must be controlled. They are usually the most invasive and aggressive
of the weeds. They usually spread easily, reproduce quickly and
in large quantities, and reduce populations of desirable plants.
The federal and state Departments of Agriculture decide which plants
to list as noxious. |
