3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Spotted hemlock status: Spotted hemlock scouting and control efforts started <br />in the southern tier townships where S hemlock was identified in 2021. The <br />areas that were sprayed showed good control using DuraCor herbicide. Virtually <br />no S hemlock plants were found in the ditches sprayed with the Kubota. Hand <br />sprayed areas still had a few plants coming up. Scouting then proceeded in the <br />northern townships starting in the Maple River drainage area. More locations <br />were found with S hemlock, several with very heavy stands of S hemlock. <br />Chemical control of these areas was not undertaken as the locations were in <br />water or unable to get to. Communications with other weed officers indicate that <br />S hemlock is being found throughout the state. The Extension agents in Traill <br />and Steele Counties were notified that S hemlock was found in the county border <br />areas. <br /> <br />Identification cards were mail to the township chairperson with hopes that the <br />cards would be given to the road maintainer operators. <br /> <br />Palmer amaranth: Palmer amaranth is showing up in Grandin and a plant was <br />identified in Traill County near the sunflower plant in Grandin. The sunflower <br />plant agronomist is waling the plant grounds weekly and removing any Palmer <br />amaranth plants for proper disposal. Scouting by Mr. Wolf has found that the <br />sunflower plant area and lawns in the city are properly mowed and no evidence <br />of tall weeds of any kind are growing. Letters were mail to residents explaining <br />the need to keep palmer amaranth under control. We will keep an eye on the <br />area. <br /> <br />Purple loosestrife: Scouting and control for Purple loosestrife in north Fargo is <br />being undertaken. A location east of Absaraka at a water crossing was sprayed <br />for Purple loosestrife. The drone was used to scout the waterway for P <br />loosestrife with no additional locations found. <br /> <br />Upcoming Events: <br /> <br />NDWCA Summer Symposium August 23-25, Washburn ND <br />NDWCA Board meeting September 27, Bismarck <br />NDWCA Area meeting October 24, TBD
