Dr. R H Porter Iowa State College warns they could join the noxious list unless immediate control measures are taken. Russian knapweed first found in Sioux county in 1931 then Lyon and Crawford counties in 1933 and elsewhere. Perennial pepper grass, a deep rooted mustard family plant, blooms late May and seeds before small grain harvest complicating field work. Leafy spurge dominates northwest Iowa with May blossoms and seeds year round. Dr Porter provides identification material and control guidance to farmers.
