dc.description.abstract	More than 100 species of toxic plants infest Texas rangelands. These plants affect ranch businesses directly by causing livestock death. They also have such indirect effects as lower conception rates and weaning weights, increased supplemental feeding costs and reduced production of desirable range forage. One toxic plant, perennial broomweed, is estimated to cause more than $30 million in indirect and direct losses per year in Texas (McGinty and Welch, 1987).
