Abstract

Creeping wartcress was first identified in the Imperial Valley of southeastern California in 1982. From two limited invasions of approximately 2 ha each, by 1987 this weed had infested 1500 ha. Creeping wartcress can behave as an annual or biennial weed and is a member of the mustard family (Brassicaceae). Creeping wartcress seed germinates from September through March and flowers first appear in racemes in late February, continuing through May.
