Cut Weeds in Pasture Before Seed Has Set
H D Hughes of Iowa State College advises mowing pasture weeds such as ragweed blue vervain and horsetail before seed set. Best time is when buds form and roots have less food. avoid delaying mowing or leaving a thick clump to smother grass. don’t mow after seeds mature. clip closely to prevent dry stubble and control weed growth for the season.
