Ragweed Season Ahead of Schedule and Worse in Iowa
UPI reports botanists and weed specialists say ragweed season in Iowa will start earlier and be more severe this year. University of Iowa botanist H L Dean notes the season is about three to four weeks ahead due to an early spring. Polk County Weed Commissioner George Stokesbury expects hayfever to begin in August, with ragweed already seeding. Drought has strengthened roots, raising pollen spread unless rain clears the air.
