3. Biological -The use of organisms such as sheep, goats, cattle, insects and plant diseases to disrupt the growth of undesirable plants. 4. Chemical -The use of herbicides or plant regulators to disrupt the growth of undesirable plants. Pick one type of control method for each weed species that is on the property. This is what you will be implementing on a regular basis. Be sure it can be carried out. However, if the weed infested sites occur in different habitat types such as; pasture, riparian azea, wetlands, etc. pick one type of control method for each area. Be sure.to indicate where the methods will be used. Try to include the grass species that will be used, if reseeded and the chemicals that will be applied. Weed management of noxious weeds in range, pasture and non-crop sites is as follows: Canada Thistle A. Mechanical and Chemical Control -Mowing will occur throughout the growing season in order to keep the plants from going to seed. Mowing will be terminated in late August followed by a herbicide treatment during late September through October - before a hazd frost. B. Cultural and Chemical Control -Use of a short residual herbicide followed by a seeding with a competitive grass such as western wheatgrass or other sod fomung species (indicate species). C. Chemical Control Only - A herbicide application will be applied from rosette to bud stage. This will be followed up with a fall application, if needed. The herbicides that can be used independently or in combination with other herbicides on Canada thistle include: Curtail, Redeem R&P, Clarity, Tordon 22K, 2,4-D, Telar and Roundup Pro. You must read the label and use a herbicide labeled for the intended site. Musk and Scotch Thistle A. Mechanical and Chemical Control -Mowing will occur several times throughout the summer, but no later than the bud stage of the thistle plants. This will keep.the plants from going to seed. A herbicide will be applied in the fall, before a hazd frost, on the new rosettes and any plants that have bolted. B. Mechanical Control Only -Multiple mowings will be conducted throughout the summer to keep the plants from going to seed. Potentially two to four times during the growing season. C. Chemical Control Only - A herbicide will be used in the spring and fall when the plant is in the rosette stage. The herbicides that can be used independently or iri combination with other herbicides on musk and Scotch thistle include: Curtail, Redeem R&P, Clarity, Tordon 22k, Telaz, Escort, Roundup Pro and 2,4-D. You must read the label and use a herbicide labeled for the intended site.
