Non-Chemical Management
- Maintaining a healthy planting or turf area to provide competition will prevent weed establishment.
- Cultivation (rototilling or hoeing) will effectively eliminate plants.
- Mowing to prevent seed production is a very effective means of management. In lawns, mowing regularly at the proper height for the grass species may help minimize weed growth and invasion.
- Apply organic mulches, such as bark, compost, grass clippings, straw, and other materials, in a layer from two to several inches thick for effective weed management.
