After some discussion a con

The planning commission
agreed, however, that no
time when most of the wheat
was coming up.
Approximately 50. 000 acres
of dryland winter wheat have
lieen re-seeded in Morrow
County because of cheatgrass
problems. Working-up the
ground and re-seeding is the
most common way to control
cheatgrass. Often. Round-up
or Paraquat herbicides are
used to kill the cheatgrass and
the planted wheat before the
field is planted again.
Scncor herbicide can be
used to control cheatgrass in
fall planted wheat without
reseeding. but proper timing
is critical. Wheat plants
should have at least three to
four tillers and crown (brace)

In many wheat fields this
fall, the cheatgrass came up

conditions, by the time the
wheat is big enough for the

cheatgrass is too big for good
control.
