To Eradicate r Twitch gras, couch grass, quack grass and scutch grass are some of the more printable names applied to a very well known weed that is the cause of many headaches to farmers in their efforts to eradi- cate in from their fields. Twitch grass (Agropyron repens, L.,-Beauv.) looks innocent enough, just another type of grass with dark green heavily ribbed leaves, stems up to three feet high and the seeds formed in a .narrow, flat spike. The seed is about one-half inch long, narrow, light in weight and is frequeintly found as an impurity ingrain or grass seeds: - The shallow, 'creeping, perennial rootstalks are the chief cause of grief, clogging the harrows, cul- tivator and seed drill. The roots continue to thrive after plowing down, or cultivatiing up. ' When scattered over a field by fa..,tn implements they readily eS'tablish a new patch of twitch grass to plague the farmer. Control measures should aim to bring these root stalks to the sur- face during the dry part ofthe summer. Shallow plowing in June or July, after a hay crop is re- moved, should be followed by fre- quent working with' a cultivator until time to sow fall wheat. Im- mediately after the fall wheat crop is removed shallow plowing should be ,clone again and surface cultiva- tion continued until freeze up. A one-way disc or disc plow is satis- factory for the midsummer plow- ing operatioiri. However, the disc harrow, or double' disc -is to bq avoided because it chops up the root stalks, each part- of which will grow again at the nodes. Much of the value of plowing or cultivating is' lost if the weather is wet, therefore, take all possible advantage of the hot, dry weather of July and August. Poorly drain- ed land also increases the difficulty of controlling twitch grass. Tile drains thus may provide another indirect ,benefit. The Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of .the Ontario Department of Agriculture reports that chem- ical control of twitch grass is not yet practical on a large scale- At rates sufficient to control twitch grass, chemicals would destroy the crop, and the cost would bebout equal to the cost of cultivation to achieve similar results. TCA is the chemical which has given most success. The first application is made on freshly plowed ground using about 30 pounds of TCA per acre. A subsequent application is usually necessary to control„re. growth. The cost of chemical treatment would range between $20 and $30 per acre.
