Herbicide Field Day on Wedelia & Sedges

Reminder…Herbicide Field Day on Wedelia & Sedges

This Friday, April 4, 2008

To: Landscape & Golf Course Industries

Wedelia is often used as a groundcover. However, some people consider it a weed and efforts are currently being taken to place it on the invasive weed list. Recently an herbicide trial was conducted with Sedge-Hammer (SledgeHammer | Sledge-Hammer), Manage, Certainty, Monument, and Image for the control of wedelia, purple nutsedge, green kyllinga, and white kyllinga. You are invited to attend a field day to observe the herbicide effects on wedelia and the early results on these sedges.
