Abstract

On the Ground Poisonous plants on western North American rangelands have historically been troublesome to livestock producers. Research on toxic plants was initiated by the United States Department of Agriculture in the late 1890s to solve problems for the livestock industry. TheUnitedStatesDepartment ofAgricultureAgricultural Resource Service Poisonous PlantResearch Laboratory in Logan, Utah continues to provide research-based solutions to poisonous plant problems besetting livestock producers, hobby farmers and small holders, veterinarians, and extension personnel. Principal plants of current research interest include larkspur, lupine, locoweed, selenium accumulating plants, pyrrolizidine alkaloid-containing plants, and ponderosa pine.
