Extract

The cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpum) is a low growing, perennial, woody plant of the boglands of the northern United States. Because cranberries are grown commercially on wet, low lying soils, the fields are often infested with a wide range of weeds common to such areas. Among the most common weeds of Wisconsin cranberry bogs are (1) sedge family: Carex oligosperma, Dulichium arundinaceum, and Eriophorum uirginicum; (2) rush family: Juncus effusus and J. canadensis; (3) horsetail family: Equisetum arvense and E. fluviatile; (4) fern family: Onoclea sensibilis and Osmunda regalis; (5) water plantain family: Sagittaria latifolia; (6) grass family: Leersia oryzoides, Glyceria canadensis and Calamagrostis canadensis; (7) composite family: Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Bidens connata, and Solidago graminifolia; (8) primrose family: Lysimachia terrestris and L. thyrsiflora; (9) buckwheat family: Polygonum sagittatum and P. amphibium; (10) rose family: Potentilla palustris and Rubus hispidus; (11) mint family: Lycopus uniflorus and Scutellaria epilobiifolia; (12) St. Johnswort family: Hypericum uirginicum; (13) gentian family: Menyanthes trifoliata; (14) willow family: Salix nigra and Populus tremuloides. Many other weed species occur in cranberry bogs, but they do not present a serious cultural problem.
