Leafy Spurge Control
Leafy spurge, an aggressive plant, continues to spread in Nebraska greatly reducing the carrying capacity of grazing land. The weed is more common across the northern portions of the state but can be found elsewhere. Leafy spurge is a perennial and reproduces from seed as well as from buds on its deep, extensive root system. It reduces forage production and cattle avoid grazing infested areas because it is an irritant and mildly poisonous.
