Kochia is one of the most difficult-to-control weeds in western Canada because of its early germination, deep root system, prolific seed production, and potential herbicide resistance.
Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) is a noxious weed and has been recognized as a problem weed since the late 1700’s. Its impact is widespread in cultivated fields, hay crops, pastures and rangelands, non-crop lands, forests and banks of waterways.
Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula) is a troublesome perennial weed that spreads rapidly once established, forming large, dense monocultures, which are difficult to control.
Wild chervil (Anthriscus sylvestris), also referred to as wild parsley or cow parsley, is a troublesome weed that has successfully invaded roadsides, ditches, pastures, forest edges and dykes in various areas throughout North America. It prefers disturbed sites with rich, moist soils and can persist under partial shade.
Wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a poisonous invasive weed that has invaded roadsides, power lines, pipelines and other non-crop lands in various areas throughout North America. Native to Europe and Asia, the plant is now in all Canadian provinces other than Nunavut and is ubiquitous within disturbed areas where it can form dense extensive stands.
