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.”
