2 GENERAL NOTICE TO CONTROL NOXIOUS WEEDS The Kansas Noxious Weed Law K.S.A et seq requires all persons who own or supervise land in Kansas to control and eradicate all weeds declared noxious by legislative action. The weeds declared noxious are: field bindweed, musk thistle johnson grass, bur ragweed, Canada thistle, sericea lespedeza, leafy spurge, hoary cress, quack grass, russian knapweed, kudzu and pignut. and is/are County Option Noxious Weed/Weeds declared noxious by the Board of County Commissioners of County. Notice is hereby given pursuant to the Kansas Noxious Weed Law to every person who own or supervises land in County that noxious weeds growing or found on such land shall be controlled and eradicated. Control is defined as preventing the production of viable seed and the vegetative spread of the plant. Failure to observe this notice may result in the County: 1. Serving a legal notice requiring control of the noxious weeds within a minimum of five days. Failure to control the noxious weeds within the time period allowed may result in the county treating the noxious weeds at the landowners expense and placing a lien on the property if the bill is not paid within 30 days or, 2. filing criminal charges for non-compliance. Conviction for non-compliance may result in a fine of $100 per day of non-compliance with a maximum fine of $1500. The public is also hereby notified that it is a violation of the Kansas Noxious Weed Law to barter, sell or give away infested nursery stock or livestock feed unless the feed is fed on the farm where grown or sold to a commercial processor that will destroy the viability of the noxious weed seed. Custom harvesting machines must be labeled with a label provided by the Kansas Dept. of Agriculture and must be free of all weed seed and litter when entering the State and when leaving a field infested with noxious weeds. Additional information may be obtained from the County Noxious Weeds Department or by contacting the Kansas Dept. of Agriculture, 109 S.W. 9th, Topeka, KS To order copies, please contact: See-Kan RC&D 871 S.

3 Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza Cuneata) Fabaceae (Bean Family) Sericea Facts Sericea flowers from mid July to October. Tannin collects in the plant and makes it unpalatable in the last half of the growing season. Sericea Lespedeza History Sericea is a perennial legume which was introduced to this country in 1896 from Asia. Originally it was to be used for livestock forage, erosion control, and wildlife habitat. In Southeastern states sericea is an important crop, but we ve discovered it is very invasive to native tall grass prairies. It was also discovered to be a less than desirable forage crop here in the Midwest. In 1988, in Kansas, sericea was declared a county option list as a noxious weed. Sericea can be found in CRP, rangeland, and along roads in waste areas. It is very hardy and resistant to drought. Leaves are arranged in groups of 3 leaflets. Leaves are less than 1 to 1 ½ inch in length and about ¼ inch wide. Sericea spreads mainly by seed, and a single mature healthy plant can produce over 1,000 seeds! The seeds are spread by water, infested hay, livestock, wildlife, and birds. Seeds can remain viable for over 30 years, so sericea is a long term problem. 1

4 Control Methods for Sericea Lespedeza Grazing goats and mowing are not eradication methods, but partial control methods. There are no approved biological control methods. Chemical control of sericea includes: Metsulfuron methyl, Triclopyr, Triclopyr + Fluroxypyr. How to prevent the spread of sericea: Work on infestations early. Be cautious in moving hay to weed free areas. Check any grass seed you buy. Johnsongrass (Sorghum halapense) Poaceae (Grass Family) Johnsongrass History Johnsongrass is a perennial grass which was introduced to this country in 1830 from Turkey. Johnsongrass has some nutritional value but may become toxic to livestock when drought or frost happens during the growing process. This weed spreads by rhizomes and seeds. Seeds are produced from May until frost. A Mature plant can produce thousands of seeds and many feet of rhizomes. Seeds may remain viable for up to 25 years. This noxious weed grows in damp waste land, crop land, pasture, and roadsides. Plants may reach over 8 feet tall. It is warm season grass and grows as far north as Nebraska. Johnsongrass spreads and competes aggressively against crops and other desirable grasses. 2

5 Johnsongrass Control There are no approved biological controls for this weed. Cultivation at least every 3 weeks to a depth of 3 to 5 inches until eradication or to such a weakened state that chemicals easily finish the job is an accepted method of control. Chemical control includes: Glyphosate, Sulfomenturon, Trifluralin, Fluazifop-P-butyl, Sethoxydim, Fluazifop-P-butyl + Fenoxapropethyl, Primisulfouron, Nicosulfuron, Imazapic, Quizalofop, Sulfosulfuron, Imazapic + Glyphosate. Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) Convolvlaceae (Morningglory Family) Field Bindweed History Field bindweed (aka creeping jenny, wild morningglory, European bindweed, and smallflower bindweed) is a perennial that spreads by rhizomes and seeds. This plant develops an extensive root system that can grow to 30 feet deep. Field Bindweed is native to Europe and was introduced to the plains in 1870 in wheat seed. It is found in waste areas, cultivated fields, uncultivated fields, and along roadsides. Field Bindweed may contain purgative compounds which cause hogs mild distress. Flowers open in the early morning and close late in the day. The flowering period is from late 3

6 June to frost. Seeds can remain viable for up to 50 years! FB competes very successfully for moisture, nutrients, and sun with crops and can reduce crop production by 50 to 80 percent. This vine plant wrap around anything, and does not tolerate shade well. A single seedling can spread to 10 feet in diameter in one season. In 1937 Field Bindweed was the first weed to be declared noxious in the state of Kansas. Field Bindweed Control Control of bindweed for cropland is: Competitive cropping, appropriate and timely cultivation. Control of bindweed for noncropland is: cultivation and chemical herbicides. Approved chemical control includes: 2, 4-D Amine; LV Ester; Dicamba; Dicamba + 2,4-D; Glyphosate; Dicamba + Glyphosate; Glyphosate + 2,4-D; Picloram; Picloram + 2,4-D, Imazapyr; Imazapic; Quinclorac; Diflufenzopyr + Dicamba. There are no biological controls approved for bindweed. Musk Thistle (Carduus nutans L) Asteraceae (Sunflower Family) Musk Thistle History Musk thistle is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It was introduced along the Atlantic cost of eastern North America in the mid 1800 s. Musk thistle was first discovered in Kansas in 1932 by T.C. Dodd in Washington County. Musk thistles may grow as an annual, winter annual, or biennial. By mid to late May the plants bolt (send up flowering stems) and soon after bloom. The flowers are pollinated primarily by bees and some moths. They set seeds well through both cross and self pollination, thus an isolated 4

7 plant is capable of establishing a dense stand. Each flower head depending on the size can produce anywhere from 200 to 3,000 seeds by midsummer and an entire plant can produce more than 10,000 seeds. Musk thistle may be found along road sides, in pastures, rangeland, open woodlands, fertile lowlands, ponds and dam sites, anywhere the seed can land and germinate. Musk thistle is also known as the nodding thistle. Musk Thistle Control Cultural control of Musk Thistle includes: Mowing, Hand cutting, and digging. Chemical control of Musk Thistle includes: 2,4-D Amine or LV Ester; Chlorsulfuron; Dicamba, Dicamba + 2,4-D; Picloram; Picloram +2,4- D; Metsulfuron methyl; Metsulfuron methyl +2,4-D; Imazapic; Clopyralid + Triclopyr; Triasulfuron + Dicamba; Diflufenzopyr + Dicamba + Picloram; Diflufenzopyr + Dicamba + 2,4-D; Aminopyralid; Metsulfuron methyl + 2,4-D + Dicamba; Clopyralid; Clopyralid + 2,4- D. Biological control of Musk Thistle includes: Two insects are approved for control but must meet certain requirements. Check with your county weed supervisor. 5

8 Hoary Cress (Cardaria draba L.) Brassicaceae (Mustard Family) Hoary Cress History Hoary Cress originally came from Eurasia. It is a perennial that reproduces by rhizomes, extensive root system, and seeds. Plants emerge in early spring and bloom and set seeds by midsummer. Hoary cress can be found in small grain fields, pastures, roadsides, ravines, meadows, and waste lands. Leaves are blue-green and lanced shaped. The plant grows up to 2 feet tall. Plants have many white flowers with four petals, and each flower is clustered into groups. This plant has a chemical in its makeup that causes irritation to mucous membranes, however it is mostly ignored when other forage is available. Hoary Cress Control Cultural control methods have not yet been developed for this noxious weed. There are no approved biological control methods for Hoary Cress. Chemical control of Hoary Cress includes: 2,4-D LV Ester, Dicamba, Metsulfuron methyl. 6

9 Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) Fabaceae (Bean Family) Kudzu History Kudzu is a climbing, deciduous, coarse vined, long lived perennial legume capable of growing to heights of over 100 feet and covering the ground, and anything else that doesn t move, with long runners. Kudzu vines are killed by frost but deep roots survive mild winters and resprout in the Sring. Kudzu has two or three-part leaves with large broad leaflets, up to 4 inches wide. Kudzu s preferred habitat is open areas such as roadsides, right-of-ways, forest edges, and old fields. Kudzu often grows over, smothers, and kills all other vegetation including trees, often crushing trees under its weight. Kudzu is native to Asia and was first introduced into America in 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. It was widely planted throughout the eastern United States in an attempt to control erosion. Kudzu Control To lessen the spread of Kudzu, prevent the movement of root crowns and seeds to new areas. There are no cultural control methods presently. There are no biological controls approved for Kudzu control at this time. Approved chemical treatment for Kudzu is Dicamba, Glyphosate, Picloram, Triclopyr, Aminopyralid. 7

10 Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) Asteraceae (Sunflower Family) Canada thistle History Canada thistle was introduced from Europe, Asia, and North Africa in the late 1700 s. It is a perennial forb that reproduces by seeds, and rhizomes which send up new shoots every 8 to 12 inches. This thistle is thought to build up toxic levels of nitrates. They are usually dioecious, i.e. male and female flowers on different plants. For viable seed to be produced both male and female plants need to be present. They tend to establish themselves in colonies or groups and can spread even if all plants are male or female in a particular group by means of an aggressive root system. Cultivating a Canada thistle patch will break up the root system and quickly compound the problem unless you intensively cultivate for a whole season. Canada thistle Control Prevention of the spread of Canada thistle ; infestations of Canada thistle can be reduced by planting weed free seed, using weed free livestock feed, and cleaning equipment before leaving infested fields. Attention should be paid to any feed or see imported from northern or northwestern states. Quick identification and eradication of Canada thistle plants is essential to prevent its spread. Herbicides approved for controlling Canada thistle: 2,4-D LVE or Amine; Picloram; Dicamba; Glyphosate; Chlorsulfuron; Clopyalid; Clopyralid 8

11 + Triclopyr; Clopyralid + 2,4- D; Aminopyralid; Glyphosate + Diquat. There are no biological controls approved for use in Canada thistle at this time. Bur Ragweed (Ambrosia grayi) Asteraceae (Sunflower Family) Bur Ragweed History Bur Rag weed is known by several names: Woollyleaf burasage, woolly leaf povertyweed, woollyleaf fraseria, lagoonweed. It is a perennial forb native to North America, and reproduces by underground rhizomes and seeds. The plants are erect, 1 to 2 feet high, bushy, and usually covered with fine woolly hairs. The plant grows from a well developed root system. It is not abundant in the southwestern and south central parts of the state, but is spreading east. It grows in moist areas in fields, rangeland, and roadsides, and frequently grows in saline soils. Bur Ragweed occasionally accumulates nitrates, but it is unpalatable. This is a very aggressive weed spreads fast, grows in large colonies, and chokes out desirable plants. Tillage sometimes chops up and spreads the rhizomes. 9

12 Bur Ragweed Control Intensive cultivation following an application of 2,4-D LVE applied in early summer controls bur ragweed fairly well. This is followed by seeding a winter small grain crop, followed by intensive cultivation right after harvest the next year. Approved chemical control of bur ragweed includes: 2,4-D LVE; Dicamba + 2,4-D; Dicamba; Glyphosate + Dicamba + nonionic surfactant; Picloram; Picloram + 2,4- D; Imazapic. There are no biological controls approved for bur ragweed at this time. Russian Knapweed (Centaurea repens L.) Asteraceae (Sunflower Family) Russian Knapweed History Russian Knapweed is a woody perennial forb that can form dense colonies. It was introduced from Eurasia in the late 1800 s. It infests alfalfa and grain fields, irrigation ditches, waste areas, rangeland, and pastures. It spreads by seed and rhizomes. The deep, extensive root 10

13 system (up to 23 feet) makes it especially difficult to control. It emits a substance that inhibits the growth of other plants around it. The leaves are bitter and unpalatable to livestock and causes chewing disease (trachea paralysis) in horses. Russian knapweed flowers June through August and seeds August through September. It has a bitter taste so is not grazed by livestock and rarely grazed by deer. Russian knapweed is a noxious weed in most states. Russian Knapweed Control Cultural control methods have not been developed at this time. The following herbicides may be used for cost-share with landowners. Other products labeled and registered for use on this noxious weed in Kansas may be used in accordance with label directions but are not available for cost-share: 2,4-D LVE (apply at early bud stage), Dicamba, (apply at the early bud stage in the spring and fall on pastures, rangeland and noncropland), Picloram (restricted use pesticide); Aminopyralid. There are no biological controls approved for use on Russian Knapweed at this time. 11

14 Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) Euphorbiaceae (Spurge Family) Leafy Spurge History Leafy spurge was brought to the United States from Eurasia as a seed impurity about Leafy spurge seems to be a serious problem only in North America. It is aggressive and spreads quickly. This plant is a perennial that grows up to 3 feet tall, and reproduces by vigorous rhizomes and seeds. In North America leafy spurge is highly competitive often forming dense stands that crowd out other more favorable vegetation. The plant has an extensive root system that stores an abundance of nutrients making leafy spurge extremely difficult to control. Seeds may be viable in the soil for up to 8 years. It is considered toxic to cattle, but can be eaten by sheep and goats with some acclimation to it. Leafy Spurge Control Intensive cultivation between harvest and sowing of winter wheat or rye will reduce the stand of leafy spurge. Clean the equipment before moving from the infested area to prevent spreading the infestation. 12

15 The following herbicides may be used for cost-share with landowners. Other products labeled and registered for use on this noxious weed in Kansas may be used in accordance with label directions but are not available for cost-share; 2,4-D LVE, Picloram, Picloram + 2,4-D, Imazapic, Diflufenzopyr + Dicamba + Picloram. There are no biological control practices approved for leafy spurge control at this time. A potential nationwide leafy spurge biological control program is being considered by the USDA. Kansas will consider participation in such a program if it is implemented. Quackgrass (Agropyron repens) Poaceae (Grass Family) Quackgrass History Quackgrass is an aggressive perennial grass introduced from the Mediterranean area. This grass reproduces by seeds and spreads by mass of shallow branching rhizomes. Quackgrass reduces productivity in crops, rangeland, and pastures. It is a nuisance in lawns and home gardens and is believed to be allelopathic. It is only fair forage for livestock and can be used for hay ut reapidly spreads and takes over an area. Broken rhizomes form new plants making mechanical control of little use. 13

16 Quackgrass Control Cultivation- Rots and rhizomes are killed by drying on the soil surface. Tillage with a heavy duty spring-tooth cultivator should be at a depth of 3 to 4 inches. The first operation should be when growth starts in April. Succeeding cultivations should be made at intervals of about 1 week even though no growth of quackgrass is apparent. Shallow cultivation or plowing in the late fall will expose rhizomes to freezing and drying during winter and reduces the stand and rapidity of spring growth. Intensive grazing before cultural operations are started is beneficial. Competitive crops- to be most effective, should be planted only after the quackgrass has been partially weakened by tillage. Sudangrass or forage sorghum may be used. In gardens, a relatively close spacing of squash or pumpkins is effective. The following herbicide may be used for cost-share with landowners: Glyphosate, Glyphosate + Diquat, Nicosulfuron, Nicosulfuron + Rimsulfuron, Primisulfuron, and Fluazifop-P-butyl. There are no biological controls approved for use on quackgrass at this time. Pignut (Hogpotato) (Hoffmanseggia densiflora) Pignut History Hogpotato is a native weed found in the Southwest in large colonies growing in alkaline soil along roadsides and ditchbanks. This low-growing weak stem perennial grows up to 1 foot tall and reproduces from seed and underground tubers. The plant has deep roots on which develop nut-like tubers 1- to 15 inches below the surface and are difficult to remove from the soil. 14

17 This plant is a legume with a tuft of leaves at the base. The flowers are of the pea-type, yellow or orange-red, and about one half inch long. The pods are flat, about 1 to 1 ½ inches long, and have a few several seeds. Pignut Control Cultivation- Cultivate 3 to 5 inches deep at intervals so as to permit the weeds to grow not more than 10 days after each emergence of first plants. Don t exceed intervals for 3 weeks. Cultivation shall be continued until the plants have been eradicated or have been suppressed to such an extent that remaining plants may be more economically destroyed by other treatment, at the application of approved chemicals to individual plants or by hand cultivation. Grubbing- Small infestations should be grubbed out, taking care to remove all the tuberous nut-like roots. Picloram herbicide may be used for cost-share with landowners. Other products labeled for use on this noxious weed in Kansas may be used in accordance with label directions but are not available for cost-share. There are no biological controls approved for use on Pignut at this time. Bull Thistle-County Option Asteraceae (Sunflower Family) Bull Thistle History Bull thistle is a biennial that reproduces solely by seed. The lance-shaped rosette leaves are green on both sides. Leaf surfaces are covered with rough, short spines which give it a sandpaper texture. The steams are stout, erect, branched and leafy to the heads. Considerable branching may be found in very young flower stalks. One to several small to intermediate sized purple flowers terminate the short, prickly-winged 15

18 branches. Bull thistle flowers from July to September. Seeds are light, straw colored and oblong. The seeds are attached to parachutelike hairs (pappus) which allow their dispersal by wind currents. Bull Thistle Control Mowing- Mow with a rotary mower between the first appearance of color and the first appearance of brown on the pappus of the earliest heads. Mow cleanly and closely and repeat as needed for control. Hand cutting Digging- Dig the root at least 2 inches below ground level and remove all soil from the roots. Pick heads that are beyond the bud stage and place in a tight container. Bury the container at a landfill or other site that will not be unearthed. The following herbicides may be used for cost-share with landowners: 2,4-D Amine or LVE, Chlorsulfouron, Dicamba, Dicambe + 2,4-D, Piclofram, Picloram + 2,4-D, Metsulfuron methyl, Metsulfuron methyl + 2,4-D, Imazapic, Clopyralid + Tricloypr, Triasulfuron + Dicamba; Aminopyralid. Any biological plan must meet the requirement of K.A.R Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora) -County Option Rosaceae (Rose Family) Multiflora Rose History Multiflora rose can be a serious problem in areas with extensive pastures and other untilled areas. It is native to Japan and was introduced in the United State in 1855 as a rootstock for ornamental roses. Beginning in the 1930s, multiflora rose was widely planted for other purposes in many regions of the country. 16

19 The plant has been promoted as a wildlife cover, fence-row beautifier, and as an aid to soil conservation. It has been used as a living fence, a highway safety barrier, and has been planted around prisons to prevent escapes. Multiflora rose was recommended by many states for recreational and wildlife plantings until recently when problems with the rapid spread of multiflora rose into pastures and woodlots became more apparent. Today, multiflora rose is designated as a noxious weed in several states. Multiflora Rose Control Mowing pastures several times a year will prevent multiflora roase seedlings from becoming established. Moving may be difficult, however, in the rough, wooded pastures where the rose is most apt to be a problem. Once large bushes become established, a bulldozer may be the only practical control. However, even after bulldozing, some repsprouting may occur, and seeds that have been spread readily germinate in the disturbed soil. The flowing herbicides may be used for cost-share with landowners: 2,4-D LVE, Dicamba, Glyphosate, Picloram, Imazapyr, Tebuthiuron, Triclopyr + 2,4-D, Metsulfuron methyl. There are no biological controls approved for Multiflora rose control at this time. Rose rosette, a disease of mutliflora native to Kansas continues to reduce the incidence of multiflora rose. Look for branches that display the witches broom effect and are reddish in color. The disease, thought to be spread by mites, is fatal to multiflora rose. 17
