Recommended management methods: Cultural- Establishment of selected,aggressive grasses can be an effective cultural control of field bindweed. Contact your local CSU Extension office or Natural Resources Conservation Service office for seed mix recommendations. Good grazing management will stimulate grass growth and keep pastures healthy. Healthy pastures may be more resistant to field bindweed invasion. Bare spots caused by overgrazing are prime habitat for weed infestations. Mechanical-Cutting,mowing,or pulling has a negligible effect unless the plants are cut below the surface in the early seedling stage. Well-established populations have a large seed bank in the soil that can remain viable for over 40 years. Biological - The bindweed gall mite,Aceria mahlerbae,has proven to be effective in reducing field bindweed infestations. Biocontrol agents can be obtained at no charge from the Colorado Department of Agriculture's Insectary. Please can 970- 464-7916 or go to www.12alisadeinsectaiy.com for more information.
