Agricultural News for Cheyenne Co Farmers
Agricultural guidance for Cheyenne County farmers on controlling bindweed with alfalfa as the primary smothering crop. United States Department of Agriculture experts note other smothering crops like cowpeas sorghum millet soybeans and buckwheat but find alfalfa most effective. Follow with a clean cultivated crop such as corn. Hog pasturing helps remove underground parts, sheep grazing assists but is less effective. Grazing alone cannot eradicate. Chemicals other than salt are not generally effective. Prevent pest spread via impure seed contaminated manure and cleaned equipment.

Potatoes Benefit From Potash Rich Fertilizer
Fertilizers containing potash improve potato growth. Use pounds per 100 feet of row depending on soil fertility. Apply by making furrow holes and placing seed potatoes, then covering with soil and mixing fertilizer as you finish covering the row. Another method spreads fertilizer in the furrow before setting seed potatoes.
Potatoes Need Weekly Hoeing After Planting
Instructions advise keeping stirring potatoes weeded and cultivated at least once weekly for about six weeks after emergence. Cultivation should form small hills around the plants to shield tubers from sun exposure and promote proper growth.
Enemies of Spud Potato Bugs Threaten Foliage
Potatoes face harm from old-fashioned hard shell potato bugs and their soft shelled offspring. Hand-picking works for the early bugs, while controlling the soft bugs requires poison. Sprays or dusts use arsenate of lead or Paris green with lime to protect the leaves.
Advice on selective plant care against garden pests
The guidance suggests not dusting or spraying all plants, only those showing bugs, and then inspecting potatoes every few days to ensure no new infestations have started.
