FALL WEED CONTROL
Remember that prevention is the cheapest and most effective method of weed control. If you are now among those planting a crop this fall, be sure the seed you plant is clean and free from weed seed. The purpose of a clean weed-free summer fallowed field is defeated if you plant grains containing weed seed. One method of conserving moisture and also controlling annual and perennial broadleaf weeds is spraying with 2,4-D in place of the last cultivation in the fall. If perennial broadleaf weeds are present in summer fallow, spray with one to two pounds of 2,4-D per acre. Usually it is never necessary to spray solid, but a program of spot treatments throughout the field.
Many perennial weeds are still growing actively in fields after the grain has been harvested in the fall. These perennial weeds should be treated with two lbs. of 2,4-D per acre applied as spot treatments. By following this type of program and spraying the crop each year, elimination of perennial broadleaf weeds can gradually be accomplished.
Controlling perennial weeds is a slow and often discouraging program, but control can be obtained by continued weed control practices each year.
