Identification

Economics

Potential rangeland threat, similar to knapweeds. Limited know sites make eradication a consideration.

Chemical Control

Control efforts must be taken early in the spring. Range management and competitive grass stands may prove to be the most effective long term control. Contact your local weed control supervisor for additional information.

Biological Control

5 to 6 potential agents have been identified in Europe. Further research is continuing. Earliest possible field releases - 1999.
