Growing seasons with extended periods of drought conditions can increase potential for carryover injury from herbicides applied during the drought season to crops planted the following season. The potential for herbicide carryover injury is driven by two main factors: ...
4. Use Homemade Herbicide Sprays While some folks turn to dangerous chemicals, many weeds are resistant to herbicides and respond better to different methods of control. See5 natural “weed killers” to get rid of competing plants while still keeping people, pets, wildlife, and waterways safe. ...
exiting weeds. Do not apply herbicides to your plugs when temperatures exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit outside as this will cause the herbicide to “burn” vegetation and damage the plugs. This is why it is best to spot treat current weeds or apply pre-emergents to prevent weeds ahead of time...

You may be able to apply the same pre-emergent herbicide you’d use to get rid of crabgrass to kill dandelions before they emerge in spring. Some, but not all, pre-emergent herbicides will prevent both grassy weeds, such as crabgrass, and broadleaf weeds, such as dandelions, from sproutin...
He recommends the soil surface to be covered by at least 80 percent residue. Optimizing a no-till system involves considering a uniform planting depth, growing each seed in equal amounts of residue and using an early pre...
Weed control by hand weeding is much better than using an herbicide. The growth of annual weeds during the warm months of the year can be stifled by applying a mulch of grass clipping–which will also add nitrogen to the soil. Planting through black plastic atop raised rows will keep down...
In the long term, that might make herbicidesobsolete(奇特,怪异). In the shorter term, however, Dr Lu hopes to make them more effective, by creating a cultivar in which silencers of SH4 and, perhaps, other seed-shattering genes are in close chromosomalproximity(相似性)to the herbicide-resist...
Prickly thistle grows from seeds that blow into your yard or it can sprout from root pieces, which may sneak in with bulk topsoil or mulch loads. Mature plants can reach 5 to 8 feet tall.Control through weeding, but dig deeply to get the horizontal root. If you use an herbicide, the ...
✗ If you live in a warmer climate, it can take up to six months to make sure that weeds won’t return. In the meantime, you’ll have to hand-pull persistent growers (or use herbicide). ✗ You’re removing valuable, nutrient-rich topsoil. Bare soil requires an application of compo...
