Currently we use one pass of glyphosate in late fall to kill the grasses in our grape vineyard row while the vines are dormant and a pre in the spring. If things get bad in season we use 1 or 2 passes of ammonium glufosinate (Rely is the label). I was thinking today that a pass with a torch or some other form of flaming device would take care of most of the broadleaves that escape the spring pre. Does anybody have experience with such a device? I would think they would be weak on the grass but we have that under control with the glyphosate. I would imagine $2 propane plays into this equation as well. However, Rely isn't cheap either.
