Field Bindweed Control Programs for New York Grape Production

NYS IPM Type: Project ReportThe objectives of this project were to: 1. Determine the carryover effects of the 2018 treatments on hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium). Because of its perennial nature, it is important to understand not just how well the treatments worked in a given season, but also if they have any impact on regrowth of the weed in subsequent years. 2. Determine the feasibility of controlling field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) in vineyards using glyphosate, rimsulfuron, dichlobenil, hoeing, or an integrated approach. This is a continuation of the previous year’s evaluation work, adding another herbicide to the list of treatments. Dichlobenil (‘Casoron’) is currently labeled for use with bindweed in New York
