| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses weed control during the fall season, stating that "the optimal timing for applying preemergence herbicides to control winter annuals is prior to germination - early August through mid-September. Irrigation or rainfall should occur within 3 to 7 days in order to move the chemical into the seed germination zone." Suggests that "the fall is also the best time of year for controlling many perennial weeds in turf and in landscaped areas. At this time, the plants are translocating carbohydrates manufactured in the leaves into the roots and rhizomes. Systemic herbicides applied at this time are readily carried downward into these organs, allowing for more control." Recommends evaluating fall weed control practices, to help "determine which weeds are escaping and plan a strategy for next year." |
