Published: April 27, May 4, 11 and 18, 2016 Afidavit Oregon enlists support in its war against invasive weeds Governor Brown proclaims May 15-21 as Oregon Invasive Weed Awareness Week Governor Kate Brown has proclaimed May 15-21 as Oregon Invasive Weed Awareness Week, under- scoring the importance of the state’s long battle with noxious weeds. The seven- day observance provides another opportunity to edu- cate Oregonians about the value of invasive weed detection and the need to support control efforts that protect the state’s natural resources and economy. “Noxious weed control programs at the state and county level are important investments in success- fully holding these invasive plants at bay in Oregon,” says Katy Coba, director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture. “It truly takes a team effort, espe- cially given the negative impact invasive noxious weeds have throughout our state and the potential for much greater harm.” The governor’s proc- lamation states “Oregon farmers, ranchers, conser- vation groups, and public and private entities unani- mously support implemen- tation of integrated weed management projects to protect Oregon’s natural resources and economy.” The proclamation also cites an economic impact study showing that 25 of Oregon’s most signiicant invasive weeds cause an es- timated annual loss of about $83.5 million to the state’s economy—a figure that could be well over a billion dollars without control ef- forts by state, county, and federal weed programs. This is the 12 th consecu- tive year Oregon’s governor has issued a weed aware- ness week proclamation. The annual designation seems to be moving the needle. “Overall, the public is getting more tuned in to the issue and has a better understanding of invasive species issues as a whole,” says Tim Butler, manager of ODA’s Noxious Weed Con- trol Program. “But our ef- forts are not just one week long. We are involved with education and outreach, as well as weed control efforts, 12 months a year.” Invasive weeds reduce biodiversity and displace native plant and wildlife species. They invade agri- cultural land, forests, and other natural areas causing severe production losses, increased control costs, and negative impacts to watersheds and ecosystems. “All the regions of Or- egon—from the coast to the Idaho border and all points in between—have invasive noxious weed issues they are trying to deal with through many partnerships,” says Butler. ODA’s Noxious Weed Con- trol Program evolved out of statewide efforts in the mid- 1970s to deal with tansy ragwort, a toxic weed that was taking over many pas- tures and poisoning horses and cattle. Livestock own- ers collectively faced $4.2 million a year in livestock losses because of tansy. That’s when the Oregon Legislature allocated funds to deal with the problem. Through pioneering bio- logical control work—us- ing insects that were natu- ral enemies of tansy rag- wort—the “scourge of the seventies” was eventually brought under control. ODA has what is con- sidered the nation’s top biological control program for weed control. To date, ODA has used 77 biocon- trol agents against 31 weed species. About one out of every three has proven suc- cessful. In addition to seeing positive results with tansy ragwort, more recent suc- cess has been recorded with good bugs battling purple loosestrife, Dalmatian toad- lax, and diffuse knapweed. “The introduction of biocontrol insects for dif- fuse knapweed back in the early 1990s has greatly reduced its impact upon grazing rangelands in Mor- row County,” says Morrow County Weed Coordinator/ Inspector Dave Pranger. “Jokingly, diffuse knap- weed had been known as the ‘Morrow County lower’ but has since been controlled in many areas and reduced to manageable levels.” “The recent introduc- tion of a biocontrol for Dalmatian toadflax has also shown great promise in helping to control this dificult perennial weed,” Pranger adds. “These suc- cess stories with biocon- trols show the importance of the state and county weed control programs in not only how they help to con- trol invasive noxious weeds but also help to reduce the reliance on chemicals to control them.” In a broad sense, ODA practices the concept of “early detection, rapid re- sponse” when it comes to invasive noxious weeds. “At the state level, we try to focus on the high- est priority targets, our A- listed weeds,” says Butler. “We first try to prevent new introductions of in- vasive weeds coming into Oregon or keep those al- ready here from moving into new areas where they might impact our natural resources. We try to control noxious weeds when they are in very small numbers. It makes both ecological and economic sense.” The same economic impact study that places a price tag on damage done by noxious weeds also shows a 34-1 benefit-to- cost ratio when emerging infestations are dealt with rapidly. That means for ev- ery dollar spent, the efforts save $34 down the line. County weed control programs are critical in dealing with regionally abundant noxious weeds and effectively work in concert with state and local land managers. However, only 24 of Oregon’s 36 counties have weed control programs, and some are not funded at a very high level. “I look at it as a ‘pay me now or pay me lat- er’ type situation,” says Butler. “If you look at it from an investment side of things, having these weed control programs in place and making sure they have the tools and resources to deal with the problems makes a huge difference.” In the dozen years of proclaiming a weed aware- ness week, a few trends have emerged. Invasive weeds are increasingly threatening Oregon’s wa- tershed health. Aquatic weed species are directly impacting water systems, but even terrestrial weeds have adversely affected streams, rivers and other water bodies. Even though it’s only one time a year, Oregon Invasive Weed Awareness Week is a concentrated effort to reach out to the general public with some take home messages. “We want Oregonians to understand the signii- cance of the issue,” says Butler. “We ask that they try to do their part by actively looking for new weeds out there and relaying the in- formation to state or coun- ty weed folks. We also ask that they generally support our efforts. The return on investment for these types of programs is off the charts if we can hold the line on these invasive plant spe- cies.” More information about noxious weeds in Morrow County can be found on the Morrow Coun- ty website, http://morrow- countyoregon.com/, under Weed Control.
