Recommended management methods: <br /> Cultural - Establishment of selected, aggressive grasses can be an effective cultural <br /> control of hoary cress. Contact your local CSU Extension office or Natural Resources <br /> Conservation Service office for seed mix recommendations. Good grazing management <br /> will stimulate grass growth and keep pastures healthy. Healthy pastures may be more <br /> resistant to hoary cress invasion. Bare spots caused by overgrazing are prime habitat for <br /> weed infestations. <br /> Mechanical- Due to the extensive root system,hand-pulling this plant is not a viable <br /> option. Repeated tillage (every 10 to 14 days) can destroy colonies in 2 to 4 years. <br /> Combining mowing with herbicides will further enhance control of this weed. Apply <br /> herbicides in spring and/or fall, and then mow during the summer months. Mowing <br /> alone is not an effective control option.
