SHELEY, JAMES S. JACOBS, and JOE W. FLOYD2 Abstract. A telephone survey of Montana residents was undertaken to determine their knowledge of noxious weeds, their attitudes toward noxious weeds, how they use the outdoors with respect to spreading noxious weeds, and the best methods to distribute information to those most unaware about noxious weeds. Most Montanans (76%) thought that noxious weeds were a serious or very serious problem. Respondents from central (67%) and southwestern (59%) Montana were more likely to evaluate the noxious weed problem as serious than respondents from western (37%) or southeastern (33%) Montana. Most Montanans (80%) could name a problem associated with noxious weed invasion. Farmers and operators of non-farm machinery knew more problems associated with weeds than people not involved in these activities. Respondents knew ways weeds spread (89%) but many could not think of ways to prevent weed spread (70%) or identify activities they participate in that might spread weeds (64%). Television (89%) and newspaper stories (85%) were mentioned most often as the most effective ways to distribute information about noxious weeds. Additional index words: Educational programs, information distribution, questionnaire, telephone survey. INTRODUCTION Adult awareness and educational programs are often developed and delivered without consideration of the level of interest and knowledge of the audience. Accurate iden tification of the target audience, combined with an under standing of their knowledge, beliefs, and interests can provide essential information for the development of ef fective educational programs (2, 4). The Montana Weed Control Association and Montana State University Extension Service are developing a state wide noxious weed awareness and educational plan for the general public of Montana. The objective of this plan is to enhance understanding of how weeds impact the public and how Montanans can minimize the spread of noxious weeds. The plan is also aimed at increasing support for noxious rangeland weed management programs. Before this plan can be developed, it was deemed important to understand the level of public knowledge about noxious weeds, including how weeds spread, the impact of weeds on the environment, and how public land use affects weed management. Without this knowledge, educators may 'Received for publication Aug. 10, 1995 and in revised form Jan. 29, 1996. 2Ext. Noxious Weed Spec., Post-Doctoral Res. Assoc., Dep. Plant, Soil and Environ.

Recently, two surveys were conducted to assess the knowledge and educational needs of urban homeowners for pest and weed management (1, 3). However, no infor mation exists regarding the level of awareness and educa tional needs of Montanans regarding noxious rangeland weeds. The purpose of this survey was to assess the pub lic's knowledge about noxious rangeland weeds. Specific objectives were to determine: 1) the knowledge level of people in Montana about noxious weeds, 2) their attitudes about noxious weeds, 3) how they use the outdoors with respect to spreading noxious weeds, and 4) the best meth ods of distributing information to persons most unaware of noxious weeds. MATERIALS AND METHODS A telephone survey was conducted with assistance from the Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing Laboratory at Montana State University-Billings. Questions asked in the survey were developed by 20 weed professionals in Montana (Table 1). A random digit dialing sampling tech nique was used to generate the sample of telephone num bers used for the survey, and included unlisted telephone numbers in the sample. The survey was conducted over one 592 Weed Technology. 1996.

A total of 2,212 telephone calls was made to 1,698 telephone numbers, resulting in 411 interviews with Montana residents 18 yr old or older. Unanswered calls were re-dialed up to five times in order to attempt to complete interviews. Analysis. Data were subjected to two bivariate analyses; cross-tabulation, including the Chi-squared statistic, or ANOVA (cx = 0.05). Answers to individual questions and overall knowledge of respondents were compared among different regions of Montana. The regions were chosen by Volume 10, Issue 3 (July-September) 1996 593 This content downloaded from 49.151.216.17 on Sun, 04 Mar 2018 14:45:49 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms SHELEY ET AL.: NOXIOUS WEED SURVEY Figure 1. Weed areas and counties in Montana. weed area; Western, Triangle, Northeast, Southwest, Cen tral, Southeastern, and Southcentral (Figure 1). Respon dents' overall knowledge was determined by compiling numbers from the questions asked in the survey: the num ber of weeds known (max. = 2), the number of problems associated with weeds (max. = 3), the number of ways weeds are spread (max. = 3), and why weeds spread so fast (max. = 1). The frequency with which respondents engaged in out door activities was compared with their knowledge of noxious weeds to determine if relationships existed. For this analysis, responses were reduced to two categories; a few times per year or less, and once per month or more. These two categories were compared using a t-test (x = 0.05). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Demographics. Respondents were equally represented by sex, the mean age was 47 yr, and the mean education level was two years of college. Respondents were from 46 of Montana's 56 counties and all seven Montana weed areas. 3Cooksey, D. and B. Mullin. 1991. A Summary of the 1991 Montana Noxious Weed Questionnaire. Montana State Univ. Coop. Agri. Pest Survey. 1 p. Responses. Respondents' self rated level of knowledge and assessment of the seriousness of noxious weeds show that Montanans are aware that noxious weeds are a prob lem, but feel they lack knowledge about noxious weeds. Over three-quarters (76%) of the respondents said noxious weeds were a serious or very serious problem. Two-thirds (67%) indicated that they knew little or nothing about noxious weeds. Although there was no difference between weed areas in how respondents evaluated their knowledge of weeds, those in the Central (67%) and Southwestern (59%) areas were more likely to evaluate the noxious weed problem as very serious, while Southeastern (33%) and Western (37%) area respondents were least likely to evalu ate the problem as serious. Of these areas, the Southeastern area is least affected by noxious weeds, and the Western area is the most affected3. Respondents from areas with either minor or major weed infestations did not perceive weeds as a serious problem. In the former case, we specu late that the perceived seriousness of the problem is low because weed awareness is low. In the areas most affected by weeds, the people may have become indifferent to their seriousness. When asked to name the two worst or most damaging weeds in Montana, 73% of the respondents could name one damaging weed, and 46% of the respondents could provide 594 Volume 10, Issue 3 (July-September) 1996 This content downloaded from 49.151.216.17 on Sun, 04 Mar 2018 14:45:49 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms WEED TECHNOLOGY a second damaging weed. Respondents mentioned spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa Lam.) most often (43%), followed by leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) ( 14%), and Canada thistle [Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.] (9%). Weed inventories in Montana show spotted knapweed is the most widespread noxious weed infesting 2,000,000 ha, followed by Canada thistle (350,000 ha), and leafy spurge (150,000 ha)3. Most respondents could identify one major problem associated with noxious weeds (80%), and 55% could identify two or three problems. The most common problem mentioned was that noxious weeds reduce biodiversity (48%). The second most often mentioned problem was reduced crop production (28%) followed by reduced live stock feed and interrupted ecosystem function (23% each). Other problems commonly mentioned include soil and water problems (17%), and reduced wildlife feed (I %). Some people perceived weeds as a problem because they cause allergies (7%) and reduce land values (6%). Nine teen percent of the respondents did not know any major problems. These results indicate that Montanans generally recognize the impacts of noxious weed invasion. To prevent noxious weed invasion, it is important to know how weeds spread and why they are able to spread rapidly. Most of the people surveyed (89%) could name at least one way in which weeds spread, and 56% could name three ways weeds spread. The most common answers were wind (60%), livestock (31%), and wildlife (30%). How ever, 32% of the respondents did not know why weeds spread rapidly, and another 38% gave an answer not rec ognized as a problem by weed professionals. Only 18% thought that weeds were spreading rapidly because they lacked natural enemies, 5% mentioned that weeds were more competitive than desirable plants, and 5% said that vehicle dissemination contributed to rapid weed spread. Most of the respondents did not perceive themselves as being actively involved in spreading noxious weeds. When asked to identify their current activities which might result in the spread of noxious weeds, 64% could not think of an answer. The most common answer given was driving through weeds (21%), followed by walking through weeds (17%), and not controlling weeds (9%). Only 5% of the respondents could name three current activities they en gaged in that might result in the spread of weeds. Many of those surveyed did not perceive themselves as being actively involved in slowing weed spread. When 4Abbreviations: ATV, all terrain vehicle. asked what they could do to reduce the spread of weeds, 36% of the respondents could not think of anything they could do to minimize the spread of weeds, and only 10% of the respondents could think of three activities to prevent weed spread. Killing weeds was the most common method mentioned to prevent the spread of noxious weeds (49%), followed by managing other crops (22%), and not walking in weeds (7%). People from the Central and Southwestern areas could think of the most activities to reduce weed spread (means = 1.3), whereas people from the Western and Southcentral areas could think of the fewest (means = 0.9). Our results suggest that educational programs should focus on the mechanisms and prevention of noxious weed spread. The respondents' overall knowledge about weeds was ranked (0 = low, 9 = high) using the number of weeds known, weed problems known, and the number of ways weeds spread. The mean score was 5.12, 1% scored a 0 or 1, while 21% scored a 8 or 9. Respondents from the Southwest district had the highest overall knowledge (mean = 5.69), while people from the Southcentral and Southeastern district had the lowest (mean = 4.65; P = 0.05). Based on overall knowledge, prevention education should be concentrated in the Southcentral and Southeast ern areas where weed infestations are low and encroach ment can perhaps be prevented by increased awareness. When asked how frequently they engaged in sixteen different outdoor behaviors that might result in the spread of weeds, respondents cited driving on dirt roads most often (48%), followed by working outside (35%), hiking (29%), fishing (28%), camping (23%), and hunting (19%). There were differences in respondents' weed knowledge when compared between those that participated and did not participate in outdoor activities. People who operated farm or non-farm machinery, hunt, fish, boat, drove off-road, or rode horses had a greater overall knowledge of noxious weeds than people who rarely engaged in these activities (Table 2). Of these groups, only persons who operated machinery or worked on farms could name more weeds, problems associated with weeds and the ways weeds spread than those rarely engaging in these activities. Peo ple who camp, ride all terrain vehicles (ATVs)4 or dirt bikes, snowmobile, or mountain bike had no greater knowledge of noxious weeds than people who rarely en gage in these activities. Of all the groups, only cross-coun try skiers and off-road drivers knew reasons why weeds spread so quickly.

Educational programs should also include information on the ways weeds spread and why they spread so fast. Results showed that most people who participate in outdoor activities included in this survey know more ways weeds are spread by land users than people who seldom participate in these activities (Table 3). Exceptions are horseback, ATV, dirt bike, or mountain bike riders, or persons who camp in recreational vehicles. Previous edu cational programs have been partially successful in teach ing the public how weeds spread. However, our results show there has been less success in teaching ways to prevent weed spread. There are more groups of land users, mostly recreational (including offroad drivers, hunters, and fisherman) who are no more knowledgeable in pre venting weed spread than people who rarely participate in these activities (Table 3). Future educational programs should teach recreational land users specific ways they can prevent weed spread. When asked what methods are most effective for dis tributing educational information about noxious weeds, television was cited as effective most often (89%). Other methods mentioned were newspaper stories (85%), radio advertisements (79%), newspaper advertisements (78%), brochures distributed with hunting and fishing licenses (77%), brochures sent to homes (71%), brochures at feed stores (67%), community access television (67%), bro chures at outdoor stores (65%), newspaper inserts (64%), brochures with vehicle registration (60%), and brochures with utility bills (56%).
