Extract

Kochia (Kochia scoparia L.), also commonly called fire weed, is one of the most widespread annual weeds in Kansas and the Great Plains region. The origin of the weed in Kansas is obscure but it was introduced into the United States from Europe (1). The plant had been cultivated as an ornamental and apparently much of its present wide distribution is a result of escape from ornamental plantings.
