Damage by a single bush drives barberry eradication study
A state leader's study cited by Scientific American shows one barberry bush caused a stem rust outbreak that spread about five miles, affecting 263 acres on 18 farms and cutting average yield to 87 percent. The total loss reached 12,250 bushels worth $12,250, with farmers losing about $688 each. A ten pound salt treatment or an hour of hoe work can destroy a bush with $10,000 potential damage.
