Iowa State College specialist Sylvester urges timing and methods for weed control after small grain harvest. He details plowing heavily infested areas when soil is workable, followed by regular field working to starve underground storage. If plowing is impractical, he recommends spraying regrowth at 4 to 6 inches with 2,4-D ester, plus possible use of brush killer, and notes winter-spring combinations for large patches of quackgrass.
