Abstract/Contents:Mugwart (Artemesia vulgaris L.) is often called chrysanthemum weed because the young shoots resemble a chrysanthemum. It is a perennial occasionally reproducing by seeds but mostly by extensive vigorous rootstocks. This weed has become a serious problem in recent years. It is a frequent invader of nurseries being spread by the pieces of rootstock in the soil that is moved with plants. When mugwort infested soil is brought with plants to landscape plantings around private homes, business properties, parks and cemeteries, it quickly becomes established and spreads. Regrading or other moving of infested soil on a property spreads the mugwort. Mowing does not effectively control mugwort. The usual broadleaf weed control treatments have not been successful in preventing the rapid infestation of turf grass areas. A series of tests were carried out in 1981 and 1982 on the grounds of the State University at Farmingdale, New York and at nearby St. Charles Cemetery to evaluate some herbicides for mugwort control. The following sprays were found to be ineffective: triethylamine salt of triclyoyr, butoxyethyl ester of triclypyr, 2,4-D plus triclopyr, bromoxynil, 2,4-D + MCPP, dicamba, dicamba + 2,4-D and granualar applications of combinations of 2,4-D, MCPP and dicamba. Single spray applications of 2,4-D + 2,4-DP and three-way combinations of 2,4-D + MCPP + dicamba gave variable but reasonable control at different times of the year. Repeat treatments of 2,4-D + 2,4-DP and the three-way combination of 2,4-D, MCPP and dicamba reduced the stand of mugwort to only a few shoots per 100 sq ft plot. Several materials will cause a temporary burning of the mugwort foliage but it grows back again. A systemic must be picked up by the leaves and be moved down to the rootstocks to be effective. Spraying during periods of water stress could be ineffective. In nurseries glyphosate treatments have to be repeated several times to bring mugwort under control. On turfgrass repeat treatments of 2,4-D + 2,4-DP or the three-way combination of 2,4-D, MCPP and dicamba may be necessary for acceptable control. This must be done along with a careful look at all soil that is brought in as top soil or around plant roots to avoid bringing in more mugwort.
