Why is hogweed dangerous?

In July, the third stage of the fight against a poisonous weed began - in March there was the first, and in June the second. When you touch the oozing stems, leaves of Sosnovsky hogweed and exposure to ultraviolet radiation, you can get burns - due to the content of substances such as coumarin and furocoumarin.

Wounds do not heal for a long time, severe dermatitis is formed. If the juice of the plant gets on the mucous membrane of the eye, irreversible visual impairments up to blindness are possible. If the damage to the body by hogweed exceeds 80%, then there is a risk of death.

Fine up to 5 thousand. rubles

If the owner of the site did not remove, did not destroy this dangerous weed from his site, he can be fined. The amount of the fine for an individual is 2,000-5,000 rubles, and for a legal entity - up to 1 million rubles. True, by the end of the year, scheduled inspections of legal entities have been canceled - an inspection is possible (with the permission of the prosecutor's office) only if we are talking about a threat to health or someone has already suffered. Civilians will be screened as usual.

Hogweed - excellent fertilizer with growth promoter

Elizaveta Tikhonova, a Russian agronomist, told how gardeners in Russia learned to use such a harmful plant. She advises making fertilizer from hogweed. To do this, you need to soak the leaves, dilute with water and water the plantings. This, she says, is causing the explosive growth of tomatoes and cucumbers. The agronomist believes that the phenomenon is associated with a stimulant contained in hogweed. The weed itself grows very quickly, densely and reaches three meters.

However, Tikhonova clarified that this can be done - only until the hogweed has reached a certain stage of maturity. If the stem has become hard and has begun to produce juice, the plant can no longer be used, it is too dangerous.

Can you make money on hogweed?

Usually a malicious violator is fined for a cow parsnip - someone who has already been given a prescription, but he ignored. And if a person wants to help the state in this weed control, there is a subsidy program. They promise 18,000 rubles per hectare.
