Field Bindweed Control Practices for Noncropland Practices approved for controlling bindweed on noncropland are: (1) hoeing and (2) application of appropriate herbicides. Hoeing - In noncropland areas such as home gardens and flower beds and for horticultural or forestry plants, thorough hoeing every 10 days to
2 weeks during the growing season can control bindweed effectively. It is essential to cut off all plants at each hoeing. Bindweed plants missed in hoeing replenish their reserves, which delays killing time. Results will not be satisfactory if bindweed plants are left outside the hoed area because those plants will supply food to the roots for a distance of about 10 feet, preventing the killing of established bindweed in the hoed area. Herbicides Approved for Controlling Field Bindweed The following herbicides may be used for cost-share with landowners. Other products labeled and registered for use on this noxious weed in Kansas may be used in accordance with label directions but are not available for cost-share.
