Post application efficiency of the organic herbicides Topgun and Ecoclear, for the control of the weed species Canadian Thistle (Cirsium canadensis), Morning Glory (Convolvulus spp.) and Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) Dunsford, Teale B.

Abstract

Objectives of this study were to examine the long term control of the weedy species Canada Thistle, Morning Glory, and Horsetail with previously applied Topgun and Ecoclear concentrations and combinations. No re-spraying of herbicides occurred. Weeds were counted biweekly to observe changes in plant densities. Results concluded that 100% Topgun was most effective in long term low densities of Thistle and Horsetail. Morning glory data was insignificant to show any difference.
