Ragwort Conrol Act 2003. Highway verges in close proximity (
(iii) Curled dock (Rumer crispus) Description The leaf of the curled dock is narrower than that of broad leaved dock, its length being at least three times its breadth with the sides appearing roughly parallel. The leaves and their edges are wavy. The flowering stem is erect and rarely branched. The branches are angled close to the main stem and have rather small leaves throughout their length. Growth starts in May and flowering in early June. Hybrids between curled dock and broad leaved docks are quite common, exhibiting the full range of intermediate characteristics. Legislation DEFRA has power, under the Weeds Act 1959, to require an occupier of land to prevent the spread of curled dock. Under the Plant Varieties and Seeds Act 1964 the Minister has the power to prohibit the sale of seeds containing more than the prescribed proportion of docks and sorrels. Further Information and Control For further information and details of control methods Food DEFRA publish an advisory leaflet “Identification of Injurious Weeds” together with a leaflet on the Weeds Act 1959.A contact address is given at the end of this Appendix. (iv) Creeping Thistle (Cirsium arvense) Description The shoots are produced afresh each season, appearing in late spring as single stems, either flowering or barren and commonly growing up to 1m in height. The flowering stems are shortly branched mostly towards the top. Closely spined leaves are carried on the full length of the stem.The Image © Paul Hackney
