Spotted Knapweed is a Threat to Montana Rangeland
Spotted Knapweed
(Centaurea Maculosa)
threatens the long term productivity of Montana's rangelands, infesting over 4.5 million acres. At it's present rate of Infestation if allowed to continue. It will cost range and livestock 155 million dollars annually.
Tills weed is a short lived perennial fori). Seedlings over-winter In the rossette stage and resume growth In early April. Most of the stem growth Is In June. Stem height varies from two feet to four feet depending on the location and moisture. Each stem has many bracts and single pink-purple colored flowers at the tips. Each flower head has bracts that are marked with fine verticle streaks and tipped with a dark comb-like fringe.
Spotted Knapweed
blooms between July and August. Individual flower heads bloom for two to six days before the bracts close. The bracts reopen after about 20 days when seeds are dispersed. A single plant can produce up to 18,000 seeds. Knapweed can retain seed In mature flower heads and It Is has the capacity to tumble long distances and invade new acres. Mature plants can be transplanted hundreds of miles away by recreational and off road vehicles. Seed can be viable In the soli for up to 8 years.
Early detection of knapweed Is the best prevention and early treatment of small Infestations will possibly eliminate knapweed growth. For more Information please call my office at 787-5312 or stop by the County Extension Office.
