Twin Valley Weed Management offers help

Edgar's picture

The invasive weed called phragmites was put on the Nebraska Noxious Weed list several years ago. Since that time it has become very prevalent in South Central Nebraska. The Twin Valley Weed Management needs your help in reporting to them any sightings.

This invasive perennial is found most generally along rivers, around ponds, along creeks, CRP acres, and in the bottom of sub-irrigated ravines and road ditches.

The plant spreads not only by seed, but is rhizominous and can spread tenfold in a single season. It has no forage value to livestock or to wildlife.
