The purpose of the Saline County Noxious Weed Department is to provide information and materials to the public to help control and eradicate Noxious Weeds as well as to enforce Kansas State Noxious Weed laws.
We spray primarily in the months of March to October depending on weather, using appropriate methods and chemicals. We continuously strive to improve our relationships and educate our community and property owners and to be a resource to anyone who needs help eradicating noxious weeds.
The Kansas Noxious Weed Law K.S.A. 2-1314 et seq requires all persons who own or supervise land in Kansas to control and eradicate all weeds declared noxious by legislative action.
The weeds declared Noxious are:
*Sericea lespedeza is a County Option Noxious Weed declared noxious by the Board of County Commissioners of Saline County. Notice is hereby given pursuant to the Kansas Noxious Weed Law to every person who owns or supervises land in Saline County that noxious weeds growing or found on such land shall be controlled and eradicated. Control is defined as preventing the production of viable seed and the vegetative spread of the plant.
Failure to observe this notice may result in the County:
The public is also hereby notified that it is a violation of the Kansas Noxious Weed Law to barter, sell or give away infested nursery stock or livestock feed unless the feed is fed on the farm where grown or sold to a commercial processor that will destroy the viability of the noxious weed seed. Custom harvesting machines must be labeled with a label provided by the Kansas Dept. Of Agriculture and must be free of all weed seed and litter when entering the State and when leaving a field infested with noxious weeds. Additional information may be obtained from the Saline County Noxious Weed Department or by contacting the Kansas Dept. Of Agriculture, 901 S. Kansas, Topeka, KS 66612.
