Envu Solutions – Wild parsnip
Wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a poisonous invasive weed that has invaded roadsides, power lines, pipelines and other non-crop lands in various areas throughout North America. Native to Europe and Asia, the plant is now in all Canadian provinces other than Nunavut and is ubiquitous within disturbed areas where it can form dense extensive stands.
Wild parsnip is a member of the carrot/parsley family and, like other members of the carrot family such as giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), produces a chemical substance that can cause a painful blistering reaction when affected skin is exposed to sunlight.
No matter what kind of vegetation management problems you’re up against, Envu has a full range of solutions to help you take control.
