Why ragwort is a problem in Worthing
On Worthing properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Worthing's coastal floodplain and the meandering River Teville, now largely culverted through the town, have created pockets of persistent knotweed, especially around former glasshouse nursery sites once common in the area.
