  2. Timing of Vertical Tillage and Herbicide Applications

    Author(s): Mark Loux

    One of the questions that has come up repeatedly over the past year or so concerns the appropriate order of vertical tillage versus herbicide application in the spring. Two general principles guide our thinking on this issue: 1) if possible, foliar burndown herbicides should be applied to undisturbed weeds that are not partially or fully covered with soil; and 2) residual herbicides should left on the surface undisturbed by tillage (allowing rain to move herbicide into the soil) following application unless that tillage will uniformly mix herbicide with the upper couple inches of soil.

  4. Some reminders about fall herbicide treatments and cover crops

    Author(s): Mark Loux

    There is still time to apply herbicides yet this fall.  The frosts that are starting to occur have little effect on the weeds of concern – marestail, purple deadnettle, chickweed, etc.  We have applied well into December with acceptable results.  Fall treatments are a key component of marestail management programs, and it’s not necessary to spend a lot of money to get the desired result.
