Weed management on industrial sites

Description

The presence of weeds on industrial sites causes a number of concerns, such as competition with desirable plant species, spread to adjacent land which may be cultivated land, and non-compliance with the Weed Control Act. This factsheet summarizes requirements and provides suggestions for effective weed prevention and management on industrial sites along with easy-to-access resources. It provides information on developing a weed control plan; assessing and identifying weeds; cleaning construction equipment; using seeds free of weeds; options for weed control; and selecting herbicides and soil amendments used for reclamation appropriate for future land use.
