South Florida Invasive Species Category I & II

The identification of Florida’s invasive plant species is crucial for any farmer or rancher who wants to maintain healthy productive pastures. Our goal is to help farmers, ranchers, students, and agricultural professionals identify and manage Category 1 and 2 South Florida invasive species. If you have any questions, contact your UF/IFAS Extension Agriculture Agents in your county. We have offices in all of the 67 counties in the state of Florida. “In general, the stated purpose is to focus attention on the problems associated with invasive plant species, inform resource managers about which species need to be monitored, and to help managers set priorities for management. Although certain plants on the FLEPPC List are regulated by local, state, or federal statute, it is not intended that all species on the List should be prohibited everywhere in Florida.” Note: Funds are available for farmers to eradicate this invasive species, Category 1. If you have any questions, contact your extension agent in any 67 counties of Florida, your State, Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Island. **Please take a few minutes to rate this video: https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV...
