After reclamation of the site, the <br /> undeveloped areas of the site will be returned to cultivated farmland or seeded to <br /> grasses or perennials to make the establishment of weeds in the future more <br /> difficult. After reclamation, it is the goal of the facility to have all non-traffic areas <br /> seeded. Once these areas are established, weed generation will be greatly <br /> diminished. When perennials are established, eradication will consist mainly of <br /> chemical spraying. Large areas should be sprayed with a fan nozzle to allow greater <br /> coverage. Larger areas of weeds should be over sprayed ten feet beyond the visible <br /> weeds to ensure any smaller plants just emerging are eliminated. Spot spraying can be <br /> done with a cone nozzle. Large plants that are forming flowers or seeds should be <br /> pulled and disposed of. <br /> Suppression <br /> Suppression of noxious weeds involves reducing the ability of noxious weed species to <br /> thrive, reproduce, and spread to surrounding properties. <br /> Control <br /> The following weed control methods may be employed to suppress noxious weeds: <br /> • Cultural controls such as irrigation and seeding to grow desirable plant species <br /> • Mechanical control such as pulling, mowing, tillage, mulching,burning, and <br /> flooding <br /> • Chemical control with the use of herbicides <br /> • Biological control such as insect or disease organisms, or large herbivores <br /> The above methods can be used individually or in combination to effectively control the <br /> specific weed. Each weed species is unique and will respond differently to various <br /> control measures. Proper identification of the suspected noxious weed will ensure the <br /> appropriate control methods are utilized. <br />
