Nightshades, Nettles and Burs Oh My! | Silverleaf Nightshade, Buffalo Bur & Carolina Horsenettle

Silverleaf Nightshade, Buffalo Bur & Carolina Horsenettle are toxic plants but they are rarely consumed by livestock. They don't compete with forage grasses and are generally not a problem in pastures but can indicate disturbance or overgrazing. Some fruits are eaten by wildlife and flowers can be a nectar source for pollinators. If control is necessary, options include mechanical and chemical treatments. *Correction: Buffalo Bur’s scientific name is Solanum rostratum (see 4:08) Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:21 Silverleaf Nightshade: Identification 2:15 Silverleaf Nightshade: Control 4:02 Buffalo Bur: Identification 5:31 Buffalo Bur: Control 6:59 Carolina Horsenettle: Identification 8:18 Carolina Horsenettle: Control Plant ID Website https://extension.okstate.edu/program...
