Before you till quackgrass this spring, let it grow until it's at least 8 inches high. Then; apply Roundup®. You really can get ready to control quackgrass by letting it grow undisturbed this spring. Dop't touch it or till -it, until it's actively growing and most weeds are 8 inches high —(3 to 4 leaf stage). Then, apply Roundup® herbicide by Monsanto. Tillage may break up and spread live rhizomes throughout your field and all plants may not re -grow to the proper stage in.tim for treatment with Roundup. Roundup however, controls emerged quackgrass above and , below ground, when used properly, Roundup is so effective, that many \ farmers, using it as the keystone of their quackgrass control programs, have been able to achieve manageable control for up to 3 years after one application. And since Roundup has no residUal soil activity, • you can till and plant wheat, oats, barley; corn or soybeans only 5 days after treatment, without risk of crop injury. In those infested fields you plowed last fall, quackgrass may not be ready for Roundup before planting, If so, we recommend you wait to apply Roundup as a spot treatment in the crop — or after harvest, when quackgrass has regrown to the proper stage. See your dealer soon about Roundup. Roundup controls quackgrass --but you have to let it grow up a little bit first.
