Federal Noxious Weed Act

The Federal Noxious Weed Act is a U.S. law aimed at controlling and preventing the spread of invasive plant species that can harm agriculture, natural resources, and ecosystems. It identifies certain plants as "noxious weeds" and regulates their importation, transport, and sale. The law encourages cooperation between federal and state governments to manage these harmful species, protect native flora and fauna, and promote effective weed control practices. By addressing the threat of these invasive plants, the Act helps safeguard crops, forests, and overall environmental health.
