Chemical control consists mostly of selective and <br />non-selective herbicides. When properly executed, chemical control provides rapid <br />results, which can be quite effective. Since the list of herbicides is so extensive, the local <br />Weed District, Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service or the Division will be <br />contacted to provide input in choosing the right products for the job. <br />4.0 Application <br />4.01 Schedule -Total control is almost never achieved with one herbicidal application. <br />Therefore, areas of infestation usually require treatment in two successive years at a <br />minimum in order to provide acceptable control. To that end multiple applications will <br />be used semi- annually in early May and early September. <br />
