Fight Bindweed With Clover Pasture And Corn Rotation
Iowa State College extension specialist R H Porter outlines a weed control system for bindweed in northwestern Iowa. Seed fields to clover and graze with sheep, then plant corn for two seasons, with preplant harrowing and repeated cultivation. Lambs help by eating regrowth, clover is reseeded, and similar rotation suggested for southern Iowa with small grain and sweet clover. Sodium chlorate sprays may be used on small spots after tests.
