Fall control of bindweed
Field bindweed is a deep-rooted perennial weed that severely reduces crop yields and land value. Classified as a noxious weed in Kansas, it can be found in every county. Single herbicide applications are often not effective.
Pre-emergence herbicides for wheat
Pre-emergence herbicides with residual activity are used less frequently in wheat production compared to other cropping systems in Kansas. However, residual herbicides applied prior to wheat emergence can be part of a good weed management system in wheat production.

Field bindweed can be difficult to control
Field bindweed is a particularly troublesome weed to control. Management of this weed during wheat establishment is important because field bindweed continues to grow until temperatures drop below 20 degrees F. A single herbicide application will not achieve satisfactory control of field bindweed.
Management options for control of field bindweed
Last week's eUpdate featured an article on field bindweed focusing on its ecology, growth characteristics, and identification methods. This week, the focus is on developing effective long-term control strategies for this troublesome weed that impacts Kansas farmers. A good control program will include cultivation, herbicide use, and competitive crops.
