The
noxious weeds department controls and eradicates noxious weeds on all property
within Sedgwick County, as required by state law (KSA 2-1318). Its primary
responsibility is controlling noxious weeds on county property and right of ways. The department also operates a vegetation management program to
suppress perennial grasses and undesirable vegetation on shoulders and in
ditches. Finally, it enforces state noxious weed laws and assists citizens in
meeting their noxious weed control responsibilities by providing information on
effective techniques and products.
Eradicating noxious weeds is a major contribution to the economic sustainability of the county by helping farmers fully realize the production potential of their land. The department is dedicated to increasing crop production by reducing weed competition thus increasing the profit and sustainability of our agriculture partners. This is done through discounted herbicide sales for noxious weeds, custom prescribed vegetation management plans and educational messages.
