Weed Problems
Are Predictable
Look at your garden or fields
light now if you want to know
what your weed pioblems. will
be next year.
This is the advice of Dr.
James Parochetti, weed con
trol specialist at the Univer
sity of Maryland.
“Weed control,” he says,
“should be as much a part of
your planning as crop rotation.
“You can never get rid of all
the weeds, but you can cut
down the population if you
keep this yeai’s crop from go
ing to seed,” he adds. Some
seeds can live in the soil for
15 years or more, but you can
keep the plants from putting
down a new crop year after
year.
Because of the wet season
this year, Parochetti says, sev
eral perennial weeds will pi ob
ably be a paiticulaily bad
problem next year Nulsedg’e
has been making good growth
and will grow from both nuts
in the soil and new seed next
spring.
If nutsedge was a problem
in corn fields this year, expect
it again next year. It can be
sprayed postemergence with
atrazine, but if it is only in
spots, EPTC will give good
control. However, corn should
not be planted in a field treat
ed with EPTC. Plant either al
falfa or potatoes.
