Four ways spraying fence rows pays off says Iowa State expert
E P Dutch Sylvester an extension weed control specialist at Iowa State University outlines four benefits of spraying farm fence rows with a selective herbicide. Benefits include reducing seed producing weeds and encouraging aggressive grasses, which reduces weed growth, while enhancing wildlife habitat and neater fence rows. He recommends 2 4 D at 1 pound per 50 gallons water to cover an acre and notes low pressure spraying with careful wind direction to avoid drift. For foxtail control add 5 pounds Dowpon per 50 gallons and spray when grasses are 2 to 4 inches tall. He prefers booms with coarse nozzles for efficient, low-pressure spraying and cautions that bluegrass and bromegrass may brown but recover after rain.
