The Montana Department of Agriculture said Tuesday that rush skeletonweed has been found at two sites outside of Helena, adding the invasive weed can cut crop yields by as much as 70% and prevention in central and eastern Montana is critical. The invasive rush skeletonweed has been found at two sites outside of Helena, the Montana Department of Agriculture said Tuesday. Rush skeletonweed, also known as chondrilla juncea, is a Montana priority 1B noxious weed. It has limited presence in Montana and if found requires eradication or containment and education, agriculture officials said.
