Control bindweed when it is a flower
BY PAT LYNCH
Soils & Crop Specialist
MIKE MILLER
Assoc. Ag, Rep.
BINDWEED CONTROL
Field bindweed is best
controlled when it is in
flower. During this stage, the
plant is translocating from
the leaves to the root.
Chemicals, applied at this
time, are also translocated to
the root.
Corn is , ttest suited for
bindweed, control. However,
bindweed can be controlled
in grain stubble if the
conditions are right. If we
receive adequate moisture in
August, the bindweed' plant
may have sufficient regrowth
to give some control. The
amount of control will de-
pend on the amount of bloom
at spraying. This bindweed
° regrowth could be sprayed
by late August if the plants
are actively growing. This
would allow time for translo-
cation of the chemical' before
the plant goes dormant in
mid-September. Fall plough-
ing could occur 2 to 3 weeks
after application of the
chemical.
The chemical to use is
either Kilmor or a mixture of
2,4-D plus Dicamba. None of
these herbicides will give 100
per cent control but will
reduce the stand for next
year.
