FARM NYEWSà% YELLOW ROCKET by Neil Moore, Crop Specialist, OMAFRA A herb called Barbara is better known as Yellow Rocket, and is a noxtous weed under the Weed Act in Ontario. This weed is a tough biennial plant and it is a problem in some fields in the area. A few plants left unchecked will produce seed and the population can grow rapidly if not controlled. Chemical control is usual- ly not an alternative in hay fields as the alfalfa and clovers would also be con- trolled. In other areas that are mainly grass, the weed can be controlled by using 2,4-D bo conîtrol the plants in the rosett e stage during the flrst year (year before flower-ing).
