In recent years buttercup has become a more prevalent weed problem during the spring in grazed pastures and other field areas across Kentucky, particularly areas where livestock heavily graze in the fall and winter months.  Most individuals do not recognize this weed until it is in full flower when control strategies are more limited. There are different species of buttercup that can make it difficult to properly identify this weed in the early vegetative growth stages. To help educate livestock producers and other landowners on buttercup identification, its growth and development, and control strategies articles have been written for newsletters such as “Kentucky Forage News” and “UK Equine Digest” and other news releases, including a TV interview for the Farm and Home Show which is broadcast throughout the Bowling Green area.  A virtual webinar session for ANR agents on buttercup and other pasture weeds was also held in the early spring. Presentations on buttercup have been made at local, area, and state-wide meetings and at field days such as programs hosted by local KY Cattlemen’s Associations, UK Beef Education Program, Master Haymaker Programs, and ABAK Pesticide Management Workshop. On-farm research trials have also been conducted the past two years in Madison and Boyle counties to evaluate new control options for control of buttercup and other weeds that occur in the spring.  Agricultural and Natural Resource agents have also written articles, prepared radio and video segments, and made presentations on buttercup within their local areas. These various activities have increased the awareness for buttercup and have been beneficial for implementation of more timely control tactics.
