HyNoon Report post Posted June 15, 2015 How much land do you have to battle with it on? Round up should kill it completely to the roots that way it doesn't come back when u give it a hair cut. Let it die until the roots are dry and dead then remove them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying not to kill everything else so I'll spray directly on these weeds. I guessing it has taken half acre total. 1/4 on the leach field and 1/4 on my grey water field with a few other that are here and there. Never had it until I started watering the desert! I don't mind the rest but this desert brush and sage has to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HyNoon Report post Posted June 15, 2015 Ya round up is pretty safe too. Just add a little dish to use as a surfactant and it will stick to the bush and won't drip or run off. Therefore the bushes uou spray arr the only ones affected and not your other plants or soil. just make sure its not windy and get close to the plant. And a light coat will do just fine. Or you can stump cut it as far down as possilbe and apply round up tonthe fresh cut with a tooth brush. It will also kill the root so it will not grow back. Hope this helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is it killed?? Gutierrezia Serrotina or something like that….. been a long time. Round up or Honcho kills pretty much everything. Dig it out with a shovel… one main tap root. Stay on top of it during dry years and you can get rid of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uofahughes2 Report post Posted June 15, 2015 Not sure where you're located, but if you need Roundup or Honcho, let me know (41% glyphosate). If you're worried about killing the grasses, you could use a product called Relegate (Tryclopyr). We use it to kill Salt Cedar and other woody brush without affecting the grasses. You could also put down a product such as Pendulum 3.3 and that will keep them from coming back for a few months. If anyone on here ever needs help using chemical to control weeds, let me know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
