Ragwort

2001 was ‘THE YEAR OF THE RAGWORT’
2004 will be ‘THE YEAR OF THE CINNABAR’

RAGWORT is so Poisonous that it is one of the weeds named and controlled under
‘The Weeds Act 1959’
1kg  can kill a fully grown horse.

Every year, Ragwort colonises more pastures and kills more stock
but a solution to this plague has been developed and is now available!

Ragwort has had 13 years to establish its fierce grip on our countryside.  Recovering from this uncontrolled invasion will not happen overnight, and during the next 2 - 3 years, while its natural predator, the Cinnabar moth, is being re-established many people will be affected in some way by Ragwort toxins. 

It is our intention to provide through this site, a central reference service offering information and advice on all aspects of Ragwort control with the aim that this highly invasive and toxic weed may once again be consigned to its previous rarity.

Although the site is not yet complete, we have published it so that interested parties may access information at the earliest possible moment, or contribute to the sites content.

If you have a contribution to this site or would like additional information
please contact us at help@ragwort-uk.com

This small area of wasteland produced an estimated 16 billion seeds.
