doing some more reading , the garden parsnip is the same species as the wild parsnip according to WIS DNR https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0145/8808/4272/files/A3924-15.pdf

a Biennial commonly grown as an annual. Biennials like carrots and parsnip don't set seed till the second year.

Wikipedia claims the cultivar version and wild version to be different but acknowledges the two will easily and rapidly cross pollinate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsnip

wild vs cultivar are as far as I can see indistinguishable in stalk or head.

for as fast as this stuff spread , it has clearly got very potent seeding

it would seem for as early a vegetable parsnip is in the spring controlled burns might be very effective as soon as the leaves of the parsnip turn green burn


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

It survives burning

I got some on one arm this spring. It took about 2 months for it to go away.


Just passin through

I was wondering if burning it works. Thanks.

Larry, is there medicine for it? Was it quite itchy & painful? 2 months is a lot of time to suffer frown

I wonder about people's pets, whether it be cats or dogs, running through this stuff. Makes me wonder if they then pass it to the owner from playing or petting. Imagine if the dog unknowingly brings it in a house or vehicle.

I must have gotten some seeds in a batch of wildflower seeds I ordered and planted. This thread reminded me to go out and take care of it today. Gave it a mix of round-up and 2-4-D that I mix up to trim around things on the farm. Had to add the 2-4-D to kill mares tail because it's resistant to round-up. [Linked Image]

It may effect folks differently, I do not know about that. It does not bother me if I do not cut or break it and get plant juice on me.
Today I was working in the road right-of-way of US Highway 12 north of Wisconsin Dells.
Dam stuff was up to my armpits and it is hard to navigate through without breaking any.
A few years back a co-worker did not understand the repercussions and after using a machete
to clear a line into a corner, well lets say he will have scars on his arms for life.
Flipper, that does not look like the stuff exactly. Maybe different in other areas but the head is too full.
The pizenous parsnip looks almost like a dill head.

Flipper, your pic of yellow flowers looks like Common Tansy, Like Zim said Parsnip will have dill looking flower.

Flipper that doesn't look like wild parsnip.

I don't know for sure what it is, but I know there's something similar that apparently isn't harmful...golden alexander I think i heard looks similar to the parsnip.

If you sprayed those yellow plants you killed some expensive native wild flowers. There are lots of ways to find out what vegetation one has and the best route to use to eliminate or minimize.

Oops, what can I say, it was a panic kill! Better order some more seeds to plant in my soon to be bare spots!!

That would have been the smart thing to do, but that would ruin my scientific study on how fast round-up mixed with 2-4-D can kill a flower! grin

I would not be mixing chemicals like that.

My farmer Cousin who does spraying said to do it. We have Mares Tail that round-up won't kill so if you spray an area with round-up you will end up with a healthy stand of just Mares Tail. I had it in my hand sprayer already mixed up. That mix is what I used on my food plots to burn them down before no-tilling in my beans. Had to wait 5 days to plant beans because of the 2-4-D.

Oh, ok. Farmers usually know what works.
As a general rule I've just been told mixing the wrong chemicals could be an issue.

Round UP and 2-4 D are both contact chemicals with no real carry over affect so you should be good. In fact much Round Up used in ag application today is tank mixed with many different chemicals depending upon plant species, time of year etc. etc. The idea of tank mixes is to have two different or more modes of activity so that there are more ways to kill the vegetation you want to kill and not create anymore resistance than is already being created by using mostly a chemical with a single mode of action. Many weeds are becoming resistant to glyphosate and that bodes huge problems down the road as very few companies today are investing the millions of dollars and the time and research into getting newer products certified and labeled. It is not just the USA in fact Round up usage in countries like Brazil, Argentina and India are hat higher percentages then the US.

Was driving a 100 miles from eastern to south central WI on a 4 lane yesterday and there are stretches of the median that are thick with wild parsnip.

I noticed today where it's encroaching into a christmas tree field. That could be a conundrum for the owner.

Today my other neighbor mowed his wild parsnip with a brush mower. He's more daring than me to mow it this time of year with a walk behind mower.
It might be too late, but hopefully it hasn't gone to seed yet. I took care of a half dozen parsnip plants last night by 1 of my properties. Always nice to kill it b4 it becomes an infestation.

Parsnip has blue veins in the stem
