Yesterday we talked about the El Nino forecast for Montana for this fall and winter. With warmer temps and dryer conditions forecast, why should we be extra vigilant about managing noxious w**ds?

Drought conditions weaken native plants and give noxious w**ds a major competitive advantage. Because many invasive w**ds have deep root systems, high water-use efficiency, or traits that conserve moisture, they easily survive dry spells while struggling native vegetation dies back, leaving open space for w**ds to rapidly multiply and spread.

There are several state-listed noxious w**ds in Montana that thrive in dry conditions and tomorrow we'll profile the major ones.
