Target Pest(s) Note: Use common name Target Pest(s) Note: Use common name Purple Loosestrife Filamentous algae Russian olive Water Speedwell Tamarisk Cattails Canada Thistle Russian thistle Field Bindweed Kochia Diffuse Knapweed Sunflowers Russian knapweed Cockleburs Hoary Cress Perennial Pepperweed Leafy Spurge Musk thistle Scotch thistle Bull thistle Absinth Wormwood Dalmatian Toadflax Spotted Knapweed The first fourteen plant species are deemed noxious weeds by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. They need to be controlled and not allowed to expand their population borders. Some of the species are also set for mandatory eradication based on the location of the weeds along routes of spread such as roadsides, irrigation ditches and rivers. The six plant species in the second column are nuisance weeds that limit visibility and movement along the road system in Weld County as well as block culverts and slow water movement along the borrow ditches bordering the County roads. This eventually leads to flooding problems on the roads. B. Describe pest management measure(s) implemented before first pesticide application. No pest management measures are implemented before bare -ground applications are made. Bare -ground applications at various Weld County facilities are implemented in the early spring before any vegetation has germinated or is in the early stages of germinating. These treatments are required for the safety of Weld County employees and the area around the facilities. Due to the size of Weld County and the number of miles that must be maintained throughout the County, no other pest management measures are implemented before the roadside spraying operation begins. While the roadside spraying operation is being conducted decisions are made in the field as to the need to spray areas as the trucks are passing by. 12. Name of each pesticide product used.

Identify the target pest(s) and explain why pest control is needed. Target Pest(s) Note: Use common name Target Pest(s) Note: Use common name Purple Loosestrife Russian thistle Russian olive Kochia Tamarisk Sunflowers Canada Thistle Cockleburs Field Bindweed Diffuse Knapweed Russian knapweed Hoary Cress Perennial Pepperweed Leafy Spurge Musk thistle Scotch thistle Bull thistle Absinth Wormwood Dalmatian Toadflax Spotted Knapweed The first fourteen plant species are deemed noxious weeds by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. They need to be controlled and not allowed to expand their population borders. Some of the species are also set for mandatory eradication based on the location of the weeds along routes of spread such as roadsides, irrigation ditches and rivers. The four plant species in the second column are nuisance weeds that limit visibility and movement along the road system in Weld County. B. Describe pest management measure(s) implemented before first pesticide application. Due to the size of Weld County and the number of miles that must be maintained throughout the County, no other pest management measures are implemented before the roadside spraying operation begins. While the roadside spraying operation is being conducted decisions are made in the field as to the need to spray areas as the trucks are passing by. 12. Name of each pesticide product used.
