Christmas Tree Weed Identification and Control

CHRISTMAS TREE WEED
IDENTIFICATION AND
CONTROL
2. Outline for today
§ 3:45-Weed biology and implications for
control
§ 4:00 Weed ID
ú 1st step to successful control
§ 4:15 Herbicides: site of action and efficacy
§ 4:45 Sprayer calibration
§ 5:00 Finding weed control info on the web
6. Weed Seed Lifespan in Soil
§ Many seeds are shorter lived if on the soil
surface
ú Seed predation
ú Desiccation
§ Grass weeds 1-3 yr seed survival
§ Broadleaved 3-7 yr seed survival
7. Depth of Emergence
§ Typically ½ to ¾ inch
§ Occasionally up to 2 inches for large seeds
§ Many seeds may germinate but not
emerge=fatal germination
9. Factors that influence germination
and weed shifts
§ Water
§ Temperature
§ Oxygen
ú Tillage provides oxygen to seeds
§ Light
ú Light flash during tillage may cause germination
ú Weeds sense light quality changes caused by
§ Proximity to surface
§ Moves seed from deep in the soil where it is preserved
§
10. Herbicides and weed seeds
§ Herbicides generally do not effect weed
seeds
§ Only seeds that are germinating
§ Exception is fumigant metam
11. Successful use of Preemergence
Herbicides
§ Apply before seeds germinate
§ Activate
§ Protect the barrier
