Scentless Chamomile

[biglentil]

Im seeing prolific amounts of the stuff everywhere from Avonlea to Fort Quappelle. Road sides right in the gravel, ditches, sloughs, fields you name it. Stuff is terrible can produce 100000 seeds per plant, spreads by wind, stays viable for decades, and can make thistles seem like pansies. So pull it, spray it, do brake torques on it, whatever it takes. Cause this stuff needs to get squashed or we all suffer for years.

It doesn't seem to like our area. I have never seen it here, I think our conditions are too cool and wet? I know my inlaws have it down near Regina, thick like.

I've seen the odd one in the feild and pulled it. Took it home to the burning barrell. Pulled afew in the highway ditch beside our land. Had a bush pushed and the cat must have brought it in....me and the kids pulled it over a couple of years.

Seems like it will be a loosing battle. Highway mowers likely spread it. Maybe they should be mowed before they have a chance to produce viable seed.

Just think how weeds can get moved around by
farming land far apart. Scentless chamomile, cleavers, group 2 resistant kocia, group 1 resistant wild oats, moved from far away to home or vice versa. Herbicide application is a longterm stragegy on our farm. Control what you can when you can, you might grow a crop with poor herbicide options in the future. Owning the dirt makes the decision easier.

Spray it with Roundup.

The phone?

The phone?

[hobbyfrmr]

LOL !
You have to increase the rate for the phone for effective results. 1.5. Litres per phone. That really smokes them!

I have never seen the weed until I rented a section infected with Scentless Camomile 4 years ago. Now it's in my lawn at home, in the shelterbelt and all around the bin yard. Can't count how many times I've stopped what I'm doing just to pull a plant I noticed.

It sure is prolific a f***er.

Ally is good in grass to stop it. Lontrel knocks it back fairly well. Roundup works well... but grass after is good so Ally with residual controls the best.

Picloram. All you need

[greybeard]

Prepass late fall applied works well if you can fit it into your rotation.
Picloram more or less eliminates legumes forever from your rotation as you never know when its safe.
Some may say you can't grow legumes if you have Scentless Chamomile.
