HOW TO
KILL CHEATGRASS
AND OTHER WINTER WEEDS
IN GRAIN STUBBLE
Chemical tvinter fallow with Amino Triazole Weedkiller,
or Cytrol AmitroUT will make your trashy fallow
work easier and more effective next summer
Trashy fallow la a sound soil conservation
practice on grain stubble land.
But-cheatgrasa (downy bromegrass),
rye and other winter weeds often defeat
the program because they compete with
the growing grain and reduce the yields.
Chemical winter fallow on the stubble
followed by spring and summer tillage
results in rrn"riTnrrm control of cheatgratt,
rye grass, volunteer grains and annual
broadUaf weeds such as tarweed, mus
tard, fanweed.
Spray with Amino Triazola Weedkiller,
or Cytrol AmitrolrT, plus 2, 4-D. Apply
from October to February after weeds
have been germinated by fall rains and
before weeds are 5 to 6 inches tall.
