Remove the plastic after the herbicide dries. Avoid walking on large areas you have just treated, or you risk carrying herbicide on your shoes into other areas, like your lawn. Spray on cloudy days when possible. Warm, sunny conditions intensify spray drift damage symptoms. Target the Weed Create a targeted spraying area by removing the top and bottom of a plastic 2-liter bottle, plastic milk jug or metal food can.
Place the spray collar over the weed and apply herbicide directly into the top opening. To spray a large weed patch, use an open-ended cardboard box to form a targeted spray zone.
Spray one weed growing in the middle of desirable plants by cutting a small opening in a piece of plastic. Lay the plastic over the plants and pull the weed through the opening. Spray the weed with herbicide. Remove the plastic after the herbicide has dried.
Some of them are more selective between crops and weeds. The herbicides Goal and Reflex have significant soil activity. However, their true mode of action is unknown. They are used to selectively control wide-leaved grasses such as crabgrass or dallisgrass in narrow-leaved grasses such as bermudagrass lawns.
They are also very effective on cocklebur and common ragweed. These herbicides bind tightly to soil clay and organic matter, so they have no residual, preemergence activity. Plants rapidly turn yellow or pale and may look water soaked; then they dry up.
The effects of the bipyridylium herbicides are rapid. Even small droplets that drift to nontarget vegetation cause specks of burned tissue. Roots of perennial weeds are seldom killed because these herbicides do not usually translocate to the roots. The organic arsenicals accumulate in root and leaf tips and symptoms are first seen on leaf tips. They rapidly kill leaf and stem tissue. When applied over cotton to control grasses or cocklebur, they sometimes cause speckled leaf burn and red stems on the cotton plants; however, this has little effect on overall growth.
Be careful to prevent drift during application so that non target plants are not harmed. Applying systemic herbicides shortly after cell membrane disruptors or organic arsenicals is not advised. Paraquat and diquat are generally considered to be nonselective and harmful to both grass and broadleaf vegetation.
In peanuts, however, some selectivity can be achieved by using paraquat at the cracking stage. Lipid synthesis inhibitors are unique because they act only on annual and perennial grasses, not on broadleaf plants. With the exception of diclofop, these herbicides are applied postemergence and have little or no soil activity.
Crop oil concentrate or some other type of adjuvant must be used to increase herbicide uptake into the leaf. To be most effective, these herbicides should be applied to actively growing grass weeds. If grass weeds are stressed and slow growing, these herbicides will be less effective.
These herbicides disrupt lipid biosynthesis in grass plants. All plants contain lipids, which are fatty acids essential for plants to function normally.
Plant cells contain lipid membranes. Membranes help the plant cell regulate what moves in, what moves out, and what remains out. Because these herbicides prevent the plant from producing fatty acids, membranes cannot form.
Leaves absorb these herbicides quickly and within an hour they can not be removed by rain. Symptoms develop slowly on grass plants and may not appear for 7 to 14 days.
Initial injury is seen where the newest leaves are developing. These regions usually turn pale or yellow and then die. The area at the base of new leaves quickly becomes mushy, has a rotted appearance, and new leaves in the affected area can be pulled easily from the rest of the plant. This new category of herbicides can be used at extremely low rates, controls both grasses and broadleaf plants, has soil and foliar activity, and is essentially non toxic to mammals and most non vegetative life forms.
Amino acid synthesis inhibitors bind to a specific enzyme and prevent the development of amino acids essential to plant life. When these herbicides are applied preemergence, symptoms do not usually appear until the plants have emerged from the soil.
On broadleaf plants, symptoms include red or purple leaf veins, yellowing of new leaf tissue, and sometimes blackened terminals. Herbicides in this category are very crop specific. The spray tank must be cleaned thoroughly before the sprayer is used on a potentially susceptible crop. It is very important that the susceptibility of future rotational crops be considered before herbicides in this group are applied.
High soil pH increases the soil activity of sulfonylurea herbicides and the potential for rotational crop damage. The herbicides in this category also affect amino acid synthesis but in a different way than the previous group. These herbicides are nonselective and control a broad range of annual and perennial grasses, broadleaves and sedges.
Herbicides in this category have not yet been classified by family. Instead, they are grouped by the active ingredient or common name. Plants treated with glyphosate or sulfosate turn yellow in 5 to 7 days, then turn brown and die in 10 to 14 days. Related Stories.
