Take steps to control weeds m
alfalfa stands this fall. “Many
producers miss this chance and
never think about it until they see
the weeds in the spring,” says
University of Delaware extension
agricultural agent Dean Belt. “Yet
this crop can benefit greatly from
fall weed control-especially in
problem fields where you plan to
keep the stand for a few more

years.”
Depending on the weeds to be
controlled, Belt suggests growers
consider using the following
herbicides.
* Premerge or Dinitro works
well on chickweed, henbit and
some mustards. “These are
contact herbicides, so don’t use
them unless the weeds are already
present but still small,” he
cautions. “Treat after the first
frost, but wait until temperatures
climb back above 50 degrees F. ”
* Simazine (Princep, Sim-trol
and others) is a broad spectrum
product which works well on
chickweed, henbit and knawel as
well as on seedling yellow rocket,
shepherd’s purse and dandelion.
This herbicide can be used on pure
alfalfa or alfalfa/orchard grass
mixtures that are at least a year
old. Apply in the fall before the
ground freezes.
• 2,4-DB ( Butyroc or Butoxone)
is active on small broadleaf weeds
such as mustards and shepherd’s
purse, but the weeds must be
small, and the temperature must
be above 50 degrees at the time of
application. Several warm days in
a row will improve herbicide ac
tivity.
* Furloe is very active on
chickweed, Belt says, and can be
applied any time during the fall or
early winter while the weeds are
small. It can be impregnated on
fertilizers when making fall or
winter fertilizer applications.
* Kerb is labeled for use on new
and established alfalfa and red
clover stands to control bluegrass,
chickweed, orchardgrass,
quackgrass, some mustards and
wild radish. The rate will depend
on the weeds to be controlled.
Apply this product in the fall, since
water is necessary to move it into
the root zone. The soil temperature
should be below 50 degrees, but the
ground must not be frozen.
* MCPA is active on many
broadleaf weeds including
plamtam, dandelion and many of
the mustards. Apply it after frost
in the fall, when alfalfa is dormant.
Spray when the temperature is
above 50 degrees.
“Though herbicides can help, the
best weed control for alfalfa is a
strong stand,” Belt stresses. “Soil
test to determine proper lime and
fertilizer rates and then be sure to
apply them. For vigorous growth,
this crop must be fertilized
properly.”
