The creeping wheat grass is the real enemy of gardeners and summer residents. At this plant powerful root system which deeply goes to the earth. If completely not to eradicate this weed, the wheat grass can expand even from small back.
We get rid of wheat grass by means of chemical medicines
In fight against this weed herbicides of continuous action are effective. It is for this purpose better to use glifatosoderzhashchy means, for example, "Glifos", "Hurricane Forte", "Tornado", "Glyphosate", etc. The most favorable usage time of chemical medicine – the period, since kushcheniye of weed and finishing it with kolosheniye.
The wheat grass seeds and rhizome breeds.
After putting the medicine chosen by you on leaves or sprouts of wheat grass this means by plant within 4-5 hours is absorbed. 5-7 days later chemical medicine reaches root system and is carried by other parts of plant therefore synthesis of amino acids is broken and the wheat grass begins to perish. Usually completely to destroy weed, from 2 to 3 weeks are required.
The chemical medicine which has got to the soil quickly loses the activity, and later time decays on natural components. Though do not recommend to apply herbicides more often than 1 time in 2-3 years.
Effective national methods of fight against wheat grass
Digging over the soil, recommend to choose carefully all backs of wheat grass, without leaving even the smallest pieces. For bigger efficiency the plot of the earth should be separated into several sites (it will facilitate process of fight against wheat grass). Each such zone is carefully processed, and its borders sprinkle with 6% vinegar. Such procedure is recommended to perform twice a year: in the early spring and in the fall, after harvesting (it is very effective, next spring this weed will not have an effect any more). To reduce viability of the backs which have remained in the soil, on the dug-over site recommend to plant squash, oats, corn, buckwheat, lucerne or peas. At the same time the norm of crops needs to be increased by 10% - 15%. The root system of these plants will not allow to expand to weed therefore the wheat grass will die soon.
Dahlias have similar effect.
Cardboard will help to get rid of weed. In the early spring the site where the wheat grass "has lodged", cover with cardboard, from above fill small layer of the earth (7-10 cm) and sow it plants with small root system, for example, it can be fennel or other greens. Wheat grass roots because of short-reception of light will rot through, so, the weed will die. One more effective way is to cut wheat grass greens with Fokin's subsurface cultivators (at the same time it is impossible to damage the root system of plant). Such procedure should be done each 5-6 days: without receiving power supply, roots will begin to be deformed and the plant will die.
