Project Background
Demonstration of innovative methods of noxious and invasive weed control on grazing lands. The project will demonstrate an innovative approach to invasive weed management on the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal hay meadows. Control measures typically occur in the spring when cattle are not present. Strategic fence placement in conjunction with fall-applied herbicide will be demonstrated and compared to spring applications. GPS mapping and weed control will be implemented, and field seminars will be provided. Cattle will be excluded from application areas for one year. The project will also assist the Tribe in educating students on identification and monitoring of weed populations.
