Yellow Starthistle Management Guide

By Joseph DiTomaso, Guy Kyser, and Michael Pitcairn

Yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) is one of the most serious
rangeland, grassland, and wildland weeds in the northwestern United
States, impacting native plant diversity, altering water cycles, and
poisoning livestock. Yellow starthistle invades 12 million acres in
California alone. This guide begins with a description of the biology
and ecology of yellow starthistle and its history in California. It then
provides a comprehensive overview of treatment methods for yellow
starthistle, including each method's advantages and disadvantages,
timing, and best fit in a strategic management plan.  Published by
Cal-IPC. Full color, photos, 74 pp.
