DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Canada Thistle and Its Control Canada thistle,2 a perennial weed, seriously reduces crop yields wherever sizable infestations occur. Infestations occur throughout the northern half of the United States. As shown in figure 1, the Montana Idaho Washington Wyoming area and the Minnesota Wisconsin area have the most severe infestations. In Montana, Idaho, and Washington, Canada thistle is reported to cause heavier losses than any other perennial weed. This weed can be controlled by cropping and cultural practices and by applying herbicides. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
