Abstract:

Idaho’s noxious weeds are plant species that have been designated “noxious” by law in the Idaho Code (title 22, chapter 24, “Noxious Weeds”). The weed law is implemented using administrative rules. These rules are contained in IDAPA (Idaho Administrative Procedures Act) 02, title 06, chapter 22, “Noxious Weed Rules.” Idaho’s noxious weed law is online at https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/Title22/T22CH24/. The administrative rules are online at https://adminrules.idaho.gov/rules/current/02/index.html. <br />

CATEGORIES OF NOXIOUS WEEDS:
The administrative rules put noxious weeds into categories that can affect how they are managed. Within this guide, each species is labeled as to its category within the administrative rules. <br />

Statewide early detection and rapid response (EDRR). Plants in this category must be reported to the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) within 10 days after being identified at the University of Idaho or by another qualified authority approved by the ISDA director. Eradication of these weeds must begin in the same season they are found. <br />

Statewide control. Plants in this list may already exist in some parts of the state. In some areas of the state control or eradication is possible, and a plan must be written that will reduce infestations within 5 years. <br />

Statewide containment. Plants in this category exist in the state. New or small infestations can be reduced or eliminated, while established populations may be managed as determined by the weed control authority, which usually is the county weed program. <br />
