STORIES

Onionweed
is a tenacious invasive weed that grows well in poor soil and has
established in the Southwest. It can degrade pasture land as it crowds out
native grasses and is unpalatable to livestock. A dedicated group of
Arizona homeowners working with APHIS Plant Safety and Research staff
members removed onionweed
from their landscapes. In 2008, there were 116 sites with no onionweed
plants found and numerous others with visible efforts at control of this
invasive plant.
