nw NC | Round-up or Gramoxone when it begins to green up in early spring gets it for me.The key to greatly limiting it or eliminating it, is preventing it from producing seed each year. And, it does that very quickly in early spring. It takes a couple of years to make a noticeable reduction in the amount if it returning each year. You may find that both fall and spring treatment is necessary .
If it does not make such rank growth from being on really fertile ground or had a lot of manure applied over winter , it does make a good ground cover /mulch for no-till corn. Years ago it was too wet to spray in March and April and I had it get so big and thick that it looked like a sowed wheat crop. I mowed it with haybine, raked, round baled it and dumped it in a ravine in the woods at field edge. I then planted no-till corn in the stubble. | |
