4.01 Schedule -Total control is almost never achieved with one herbicidal application, <br /> certain species of noxious weeds grow and spread differently. Therefore, areas of <br /> infestation usually require treatment in two successive years at a minimum in order to <br /> provide acceptable control. To that end multiple applications will be used semi- annually <br /> in early May and early September. If necessary more frequent applications will occur <br /> and timing of applications will be dependent of the species identified and when <br /> treatments are deemed most affective. <br /> 4.02 Order of Application - High priority areas to be considered are major traffic areas, <br /> road cuts and embankments, and non-use areas around equipment. Ditches and pond <br /> embankments will be considered priority treatment areas to prevent offsite <br /> contamination by water-transported seeds. Large monoculture patches are of concern <br /> wherever they occur and should always be prime targets. Also, small patches of weeds <br /> will be treated to prevent expansion of the infested area. <br /> 4.03 Follow-up <br /> Disturbed and reclaimed areas will be surveyed on an annual basis in order to detect <br /> any new infestations and monitor the response of previously treated infestations. If <br /> results of the survey dictate, a modification to the existing plan will be made, including <br /> as needed applications, increased application frequency, or changes in area priority. <br /> Operators will be strongly encouraged to initiate appropriate control measures as soon <br /> as possible if even one individual plant is observed on an affected area. <br /> 5.0 Resources and Contacts <br /> Moffat County Weed and Pest <br /> 539 Barclay St. <br /> Craig, CO 81625 <br /> Phone: (970) 824-9180 <br /> Colorado Department of Agriculture Conservation <br /> 305 Interlocken Parkway <br /> Broomfield, CO 80021 <br /> Phone: (303) 869-9000 <br /> Colorado Weed Management Association <br /> www.cwma.org <br />
