Bullger Basin Weed Management Plan <br /> 2/10/16 <br /> We believe the first step to managing noxious weeds on our site will be recognition. With that in mind, <br /> we will educate our crew on the noxious weeds that could be in our area and keep a file on sight for <br /> review and reference. Sightings shall be reported to the person in charge of weed control, Stephanie <br /> Tunstall or designated and trained substitute. <br /> At this time, Canada thistle is the only known noxious weed on site but Park County Weed Management <br /> has advised us of the following noxious weeds in the county and recommended the following <br /> management practices: <br /> Canada Thistle- Aminopyralid (5-7 oz/acre or 1 tsp/gallon of water). Can be mowed. Do not pull or till. <br /> Bull Thistle—May be dug or pulled up. Chlorsulfuron 0.047 with a non-ionic surfactant in Spring from <br /> bolt to bud stages. <br /> Chinese Clematis—OK to hand pull. Metsulfuron 1 oz/acre plus 0.25%v/v non-ionic surfactant at <br /> flowering growth stage <br /> Toadflax (Dalmatian and Yellow)—Prevention by native seeding is best. Chemical control with <br /> Chlorsulfuron (1-3 oz/acre+ .50%MSO silicone blend surfactant applied mid flower through fall. Do not <br /> pull or dig. <br /> Scentless Chamomile—Can hand pull or mow. Metsulfuron 0.33 oz+ .25%v/v non-ionic surfactant in <br /> spring to early summer <br /> Black Henbane— Poisonous when ingested. Mechanical removal ok. Metsulfuron 1 oz/acre plus .25% <br /> v/v non-ionic surfactant summer to early fall <br /> Common Mullein— Hand pull prior to flowering or seed production. Metsulfuron 1 oz/acre + non ionic <br /> surfactant .32 oz/gal water in spring or fall <br /> Oxeye Daisy—Aminopyralid (4-6 oz/acre+0.25% non-ionic surfactant, may be pulled or mowed before <br /> flowering. Ok to till. <br /> Spraying with the aforementioned herbicides will be done annually or as needed as per <br /> recommendations per species (above), beginning in the spring upon access to the site. Throughout the <br /> summer months, known areas will be monitored for regrowth and any new findings from the crew will <br /> be treated as needed. In the fall, any growth will be treated before we leave the premises for the <br /> season. Physical removal will be done as recommended and noted above. <br /> An approved native seed mix will be applied to any disturbed areas to encourage native vegetation. <br />
