Abstract

The range weed, Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium L.), is an increasing problem in the western United States. It competes with desirable forage plants and the flower stalks are a barrier to livestock movement. Prolific production of viable but dormant achenes makes this species a persistent pest. Applications of 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) in the spring or fall, at rates as low as 0.03 lb/A, gave control of Scotch thistle.
