Why ragwort is a problem in Kidlington
On Kidlington properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Knotweed around Kidlington is commonly found along the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal towpath, as well as on disturbed land near Oxford Airport where past construction works disturbed the soil and spread rhizome fragments.
