Summarized weed control guidance for bindweed reinfestation
The article advises fall or early spring applications with follow up about a year later. Bindweed seeds left in soil can reinfest. seedlings should be destroyed before establishment. Cultivation kills seedlings up to four to five weeks old and should be repeated monthly unless a close drilled crop is growing. 2,4-D can kill seedlings and young plants, with chemical treatment usually more effective after six weeks.
Weed Control Outline for Bindweed Eradication
County agent Mahlon Morley outlines a cultivation based method to eradicate bindweed. Two seasons of frequent shallow cultivation, every two weeks then every three weeks, with a duckfoot cultivator on stable land and sorghum hay stubble to protect slopes. Subsurface tillage after initial crops, then wheat sown by Oct 1. For small patches, sodium chlorate can be applied at four to five pounds per square rod.
