North Carolina researchers report that heavy spring growth of oats and wheat, combined with carefully timed 2,4-D applications, can suppress wild garlic. In tests on Arlington oats and Atlas wheat, 1 to 1.5 pounds of 2,4-D per acre plus nitrogen topdressing controlled garlic without major yield or test-weight losses, though varietal differences require further testing. Permissible timing hinges on jointing stage and near optimum soil fertility.
