Weeds are opportunistic and will occupy sites that are disturbed by land abuse or use. These principles have been practiced on cropland for years and have proven successful. In addition, Certified seed is recommended for all vegetative practices to eliminate the importation of contaminated seed. Landowners are informed of the State seed laws and advised to be aware of improperly labeled seed lots. Revegetation studies on timber harvest sites in western Montana have been conducted since 1993 and are providing similar results.
Weed control is everyone's responsibility.
Working together in a coordinated effort, weed science will help ensure a healthy environment for all of us to enjoy.
