2008 North Dakota Weed Control Guide

RELATIVE HERBICIDE EFFECTIVENESS ON WEEDS-

POST-APPLIED HERBICIDES-
NORTHSTAR through WIDEMATCH AND 2,4-D/2,4-DB
The following ratings give relative herbicide effectiveness. Under favorable conditions control may be better than indicated and under unfavorable conditions herbicides may give erratic results. Dry and cool weather increases herbicide persistence while wet and/or warm weather reduces herbicide persistence.

Weed control ratings in this section are based on the following scale:
E = Excellent = 90 to 99% control
G = Good = 80 to 90% control
F = Fair = 65 to 80% control
P = Poor = 40 to 65% control
N = None = No control

Herbicide persistence ratings are for residues present 12 months after application:
O = Often S = Seldom N = None

1ALS herbicides tank-mixed with 2,4-D and dicamba controls most broadleaf weeds and reduce risk of developing resistant kochia.

2Herbicides will not control resistant biotypes.
3Weed control from glyphosate is dependant on rate used, size of weed, environmental conditions, and number of applications.
