Howto tell when your weds
are ready for Roundup
This summer you can control even your worst
infestations of quackgrass, milkweed and Canada
thistle—right where they grow in the crop.
Just apply Roundup°herbicide by Monsanto
to these weeds — when they're actively
growing and at the proper stage of growth,
as shown below. Applications must be
made before heading of small grains,
initial pod set on soybeans, and silking of corn.
An effetti've spot treatment of Roundup can
control th'lse weeds to help prevent their
spread, and make harvesting easier. Of course,
crop in the treated area will be destroyed. Pick
up some Roundup soon from your farm
'pry chemicals supplier, s� you'll be ready when
the weeds ire. Now available in a new trial size.
Quackgrass
When most quackgrass is
actively growing and at least 8
inches tall (3 to 4 leaf stage of
growth), then apply Roundup.
Canada thistle
Wait until Canada thistle is
actively growing and at or
beyond tfte bud stege of growth..-�" �'�'`4�'�
Then,- it's ready for you to ,.'J`.y • ��
-. control it with Roundup. '
There's never been
a herbicide like this before.
Milkweed
Wait until milkweed is actively
growing and is at the bud to full
bloom stage of growth, then
apply Roundup. Retreatment
may be necessary if all
milkweed plants are not at
the same stage of growth.
