[MAIPC] Mugwort Control

[Gover Jr., Arthur Earl]

Hi, Nathan.

Could you elaborate on the current stage of the mugwort your addressing. In Central PA, mugwort emergence is in the future.

What material are you using?

Thanks.

Be well.

Now I got maybe as little as 20% killed and the rest grew back, but that 20% was very helpful in thin areas.  Also, the mugwort that did resprout grew shorter and was significantly easier to manage later in the season when I hit it again.  If you have ever waded through a field of 5 ft tall mugwort trying to spray it with a backpack sprayer, it is not easy.  Anyways, just some advice.
