The Welsh Government's Code of Practice to Prevent and Control the Spread of Ragwort provides information about the biology of common ragwort, and different methods for its control where deemed appropriate. Responsibility to control injurious weeds, including common ragwort, almost always lies with the landowner of the land. It is not illegal to have ragwort growing on your land but control may be required if there is a medium to high risk it could spread to land used to graze animals or produce haylage or silage.
The aim of the guidance is to prevent and control the spread of Common ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) where it is a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals, in particular horses and cattle. The Code explains that Welsh Government does not seek to eradicate Common ragwort, as it is a native plant which supports many species of wildlife in Wales. In the right environment, and where it causes no risk to grazing animals, ragwort greatly contributes to the biodiversity of the flora and fauna in our countryside.
