Aerial Crop Dusting Missouri: War To Invasive Plants

By Debra Sanders


Before getting on to the topic of this article, an understanding of what an intrusive species is and its effect on the environment is needed. These types of foliage have an adverse weight on the environment and thus needs to be managed. Hence, this article will cover invasive plant management techniques as well as basic information about Aerial Crop Dusting Missouri.

So, what are these and what differentiates them from ordinary plants? You may think of them as aliens, creatures from another world that don t belong to the earth. Except they are plants and they belong to the earth, however, they belong to a certain location and if they go to a different location they are considered as aliens at that new location. They were ordinary plants when they were still in their home location, but now that they went to a different location.

The most common characteristic of this greenery is that they can spread too quickly, taking up the native plants space and also heightening the competition for soil nutrients, space, water and sunlight. Weaker native plants can become extinct because of this. The animals that depended on those eroded native plants may lose their shelter and preferred food. So it doesn t only affect plants but the whole ecosystem. They can also survive any harsh conditions that may arise better than native species.

Invasive plants may put the health of plants, animals and people of the region at risk, they can also adversely affect the region s economy. The plants may contain things that are poisonous to animals, when animals eat them they might die or just get sick. If animals like chickens die from them, the sales of chickens in that region will go down and thereby reduce the economy. If they just get sick, the poison might be passed on to people when they consume the meat.

Some of their physical composition includes dryness. Dry plants are easy to catch fire. Wildfires are very unattractive since they are expensive to extinguish and also lead to a number of deaths of animals living in the wild. Also, they have by-effects, the soil loses its nature and may be unable to support life after the fire.

Some countries have laws that prohibit people from entering the country to come up with any form of seed. This is one way of management. Another option is to use herbicides if the plants have already invaded to kill and eradicate them. Physical removal of these plants is possible if they are small in size, like a weed.

Not all shrubbery are harmful to the environment, some may add great value to that new environment. They can provide an additional food source to the ecosystem and extra shelter. Some even get introduced deliberately by the country. And looking on the brighter side, biodiversity will widen. Other plants like the Asian oysters helps in water purification.

Knowing what they are capable of can help you in deciding whether to eradicate them or keep them under control. By now you should be more aware about how to handle them.
