3.2 Cultural Methods <br /> Cultural methods facilitate competition from desirable plants through actions such as dense <br /> seeding, irrigation, carefully monitored grazing practices, and fertilization. <br /> 3.3 Physical and Mechanical Methods <br /> Physical and mechanical methods include mowing, disking, hand removal, plowing, <br /> burning and solarization. The goal of these methods is to prevent seed production. Sever <br /> roots at least two inches below the soils surface for optimal control. <br /> 3.4 Biological Control Methods <br /> Biological control methods involve the introduction of living organisms that are deleterious <br /> to the noxious weed species. This method is only applicable for infestations larger than <br /> five acres in size, and rarely provides complete control of the noxious species. Frequent <br /> monitoring must be carried out with this method. <br /> 3.5 Chemical Control <br /> Chemical control can offer the most effective means of noxious weed control when applied <br /> at the appropriate time. Not all herbicides are equally effective against all weeds, nor can <br /> every herbicide be used in all settings. The respective herbicide applicator should consult <br /> with a weed manual before applying any herbicide to the land. <br /> 4.0 WEED PREVENTION/REHABILITATION <br /> Taking preventative measures to abate the spread of noxious weeds is critical for proper <br /> land management. Noxious weeds can become established on or near disturbed land very <br /> rapidly and have the capacity, capability, and potential to spread quickly to other areas. <br /> Noxious weed seeds and vegetative matter can be transported by means of animals, <br /> vehicles, shoes, and hay to name a few examples of transportation. Personnel should be <br /> aware of established noxious weed populations and the possible transport mechanisms on <br /> their property and surrounding properties. <br /> Kirkland Construction 5 March 2019 <br /> weed mgmt plan_kirkland construction_march_2019.docx T E L E S T O <br />
