Russian Knapweed 80% Costshare Program

The District is offering to provide herbicides to private landowners at an 80% costshare for treatments on russian knapweed. 

Costshare Policies

  • The costshare is on chemical only. 

  • Landowners must apply the chemicals themselves or hire a private contractor to do so. Below is a list of private contractors who have given the district permission to disclose their contact information.  

  • Chemical will be sold on a first come, first serve basis until stocks or funding are depleted. 

  • $1,000 limit per landowner.

  • Products offered are Milestone and DuraCor herbicides and may be purchased at the District office.

Application Guidelines

  • Apply Milestone at a rate of 6 oz./acre.

  • Apply DuraCor at a rate of 16 oz/acre.

  • Milestone is most effective when applied in the early fall when russian knapweed is approaching dormancy.

  • DuraCor may be applied to russian knapweed at any growth stage for effective control. 

  • Use of a surfactant such as methylated seed oil or a nonionic surfactant is recommended.

  • Blue indicator die may also be used for spot treatments to avoid treating the same weeds multiple times.

  • Surfactants and dye may be purchased at the District office at full price.
