Look out for weeds
Early detection and surveillance offer the most strategic and cost effective form of weeds management. Early detection of weeds increases the likelihood that control will be successful and reduces costs as infestations can be treated when they are less extensive. You can help with early detection of weedy plants by knowing what to look for, where to look, when to look, and who to contact.
