HOW TO CONTROL BIND WEED

Large areas

WOODY WEED CONTROL should be sprayed on large areas of bind weed, taking care not to spray desirable plants. WOODY WEED CONTROL is a systemic herbicide and will kill right down to roots. Well established bindweed may take several treatments to kill all root systems and rhizomes or spot treat as below.


Spot painting

Creeping and spreading weeds can be controlled without risk to surrounding plants and without digging out difficult root systems using Kiwicare INVADE GEL. You may want to cut the weed back leaving only a few (at least 20) leaves at the bottom close to the roots, in this case also treat cut ends.

> Paint as many leaves as possible on both the upper and lower surfaces with a good coat of INVADE GEL. Rhizomatous, grass and single location weeds can also be spot treated by painting brushing gel over leave surfaces.
> Leave weeds to absorb and trans-locate herbicide into roots.

Ensure treated leaves do not contact desirable plants. Death of weeds may take over 14 days.

Spot treatments can be carried out at any time but work best during vigorous growth in spring and autumn. Do not use when rain is due within 12 hours. If new growth is seen, re-treat the new growth.


Preventing growth

RONSTAR WEEDSTOP can be used in areas where weeds have been cleared to prevent germination of seeds and growth of bulbs in the soil. This is useful when areas have been cleared for planting.

About

Common bind weeds and convolvulus are vining weeds with large white trumpet flowers similar to that of morning glory. The weeds scramble and climb by winding their stems around other upright plants, trees and fences. The roots are deep and have rhizomes.

Its vegetative reproduction means that control by digging out is rarely enough on its own. Systemic herbicide should be used repeatedly to kill the weed and its root system.
