Russian Thistle Spreads in State and How Farmers Fight It
A Montana agricultural note warns that Russian thistle thrives on dry land, crowds grain, and poses a major weed problem. Eradication methods include mowing and burning before seed ripens, plowing and harrowing, sheep grazing, or cultivating and rotating crops such as millet, brome, peas, alfalfa, clover, or timothy to choke it out. Irrigated fields are less affected, with crop rotation and dense crops effective.
