Sow Thistle Worst Farm Weed
But Effective Control Possible
Department of Agriculture
Thistles, particularly Perennial
Sow Thistles, are still one of the
worst weeds in Ontario. In fact,
K. S. Murphy, Fieldman for the
Crops Branch of the Ontario De
partment of Agriculture, feels
that they are a menace to agri
culture, since in certain sections
of the Province they have made
profitable crop production ex
tremely difficult. Sow Thistles
thrive in both cultivated and un
cultivated places, but grow most
vigorously on heavy damp soils
and where drainage is poor.
Mr. Murphy goes on to point
out that there are three varieties
of Sow Thistle, but only one—
Perennial Sow Thistle, is caus
ing any great concern. The other
two-—Spring and Common An
nual—as the name implies are
annuals and are comparatively
harmless. He say there are four
means of distinguishing the Per
ennial Sow Thistle from the two
annuals.
Perennial Sow Thistle is a tall
er, more slender plant than the
annual Sow Thistles.
There are numerous under
ground "roots” on the Perennial
Sow Thistle, while the Annual
Sow thistles, have a single tap
root.
The leaves of the Perennial Sow
Thistle are deeply cut with
segments pointed backwards
they are slightly prickly.

Mr. Murphy feels that too
much emphasis cannot be placed
on controlling Perennial Sow
Thistle and everyone should
make an effort to get this weed
under control. There are any
number of ways of controlling
this pest, but improving the
drainage and cultivation are two
of the main ways of controlling
Perennial Sow Thistle. Mr. Mur
phy suggests that low lying un
drained fields be used mainly for
hay and pasture, rather than for
grain crops, but where and when
possible, the field should be pro
perly underdrained. Cultivating
when dry is one of the most ef
fective means of control. How
ever, he points out that the disc
harrow should not be used,
this implement is ______ ...
pull the root stocks over the
field, thus spreading the weed
further. Plowing in midsummer
followed by numerous cultiva
tions will work very well as an
alternative.
An effective control can also
be obtained with chemical weed
killers, states Mr. Murphy. All
Sow thistles are susceptible to
2-4-D. It may be applied to fields?
of grain and ebrn where Peren
nial Sow Thistle is present at the
rate of 8 ounces acid per acre.
However if the spray is being
used on grain that is seeded
down, not more than bounces
acid per acre should be used, as
the clovers and alfalfa are easily
damaged by 2-4-D.
