Abstract

The present Regulation implements the Weed Control Act (R.S:O. 1990, Chapter W. 5). The plants named in the Schedule are designated as noxious weeds. No person shall transport farm produce containing noxious weeds or weed seeds on any public road or property. Section 4 establishes that noxious weeds shall be destroyed by means of: a) pulling or otherwise removing the plants from the soil; b) cutting the roots or stalks of the plants before the seeds have developed sufficiently to ripen after the cutting; c) plowing or cultivating the soil in which the plants are growing; or d) treating with a herbicide that causes the plants to be destroyed or prevents the growth of the plants or the ripening of their seeds. The text consists of 5 sections and 1 Schedule.
