 Topic: Danged morning glory must be gmo
Posted: 04 Jun 2018 at 8:54pm |
|
Gardens are plum full of morning glories, I sprayed Roundup, 6oz/gal with soap added and it didn't phase them. Used some of that batch on grass and dandelions with a good kill. Even knocked the poison ivy back so the next batch I added a pint of Diesel. Killed the poison ivy, killed a mulberry sprout and more grass but didn't phase the morning glories. I knelt down on one knee and pulled nearly 50 of them without moving. I managed to till and disc out most of them for now but once the melons start their runners it's going to be a struggle and pulling them buggers one at a time will be a pain.

2-4 D will kill them. Use a back pack sprayer with a hood on the wand to stop overspray. HTH Tracy

DANG.... I would have thought the Roundup would have knocked them OUT ! ..... 2-4-D sounds like a good bet when Roundup don't do it.

Sometimes a straight 2-4-D will not kill "some" plants like clover... There are some " weed killer" mixtures that contain 8% 24D and 2% DICAMBA ......... the Dicamba is needed for clover... and maybe the Glories ? Chemical Control ( from internet)Wherever the problematic morning glory has become well-established, herbicides are the most effective and practical control method. Glyphosate or dicamba can be used for spot applications. The bindweed must be treated with a herbicide that can move through the root system to kill growth nodes in the root system. Herbicides should be applied when the bindweed is actively growing. Fall applications shortly prior to the first frost are most effective. Only apply herbicides if the bindweed is not drought-stressed. Drought-stressed bindweed slows down internal activity, decreasing the rate of herbicide transport. Herbicides should be applied carefully and according to manufacturer directions. |

Me i would try a small spot like Tracy suggested. 24D amine for that application.
I got some old generic round up that it seems to have lost its kick/effectiveness.
Yo Tracy, where did you get that sprayer with the new fangled hood on the wand? Sounds like a winner.

Dave, I like the Solo brand sprayers. I think I bought the hood off eBay, 3 in a pack IIRR. Solo I got at Lowes. HTH Tracy

I've been known to use a paintbrush it tight spots. I used Roundup because no plants were up yet and no residual effect in the ground so plants comin up would not be harmed. Some of the morning glories turned a little yellow but came out of it rather quickly and there was no rain so I hit them the second time and added diesel. I was afraid 24D would act as a pre emergent and kill my plants as they came up. The property this place was built on was a field but more than 24 years ago but if you stir the dirt anywhere in the yard in the spring or summer it won't be long until a cocklebur will pop up.

The diesel fuel would worry me being on or in the ground
