How this works in Alberta
Invasives take the pasture and the native stand if you wait. Control now is cheaper than reclaiming a field later.
Alberta's Weed Control Act makes landowners responsible for controlling noxious weeds and destroying prohibited noxious weeds on their land, and municipalities appoint weed inspectors who can issue notices. Know which species are on your property before you buy.
Control usually combines mowing or cultivation before seed set, targeted herbicide by a licensed applicator, and re-establishing a competitive cover so the weeds do not return.
