Noxious weed season is upon us
The following was sub-
mitted by Morrow County
Weed Control.
With spring weather
upon us, landowners are re-
minded that noxious weeds
are rearing their ugly heads
and showing up all across
the countryside. Whitetop,
Dalmatian toadflax and,
most notably, Scotch thistle
are several of the non-na-
tive weeds that landowners
are required to control dur-
ing this time.
Since these weeds are
non-native they are often
harder to control and re-
quire special attention in
order to effectively control
them. While biological con-
trols have been shown to
be effective on large areas
of toadflax, herbicide ap-
plications are still the best
option for control of these
three noxious weeds.
Identification of these
weeds is not difficult once
you learn when and what
to look for. Whitetop is in
full bloom right now and
can usually be found along
creeks and riparian areas.
It can be devastating to
an alfalfa field if allowed
to invade since there are
no selective controls for

it once it does show up.
Spraying field edges and
controlling it before it gets
into cropland is imperative.
Clorsulfuron (Telar) is the
most effective herbicide for
controlling whitetop.
Small patches and in-
dividual toadflax plants can
be controlled with a variety
of herbicides with bloom
stage being the most effec-
tive timing. Pulling toadflax
is not recommended since it
can resprout from root parts
left over.
Scotch thistle can be
controlled with herbicides
or mechanically removed
by shovel or tillage. It is
highly recommended to dig

up large individual plants
before they have a chance to
distribute seed. Also, spray-
ing the plants while they are
still young and before they
reach Christmas-tree size is
recommended, as they will
be easier to kill and take
less herbicide to do the job
correctly.
It is required that you
always read and follow
herbicide label directions.
In addition, it is required
that landowners control all
“A” list weeds in Morrow
County. For more informa-
tion about noxious weeds,
