<div class="ydpa60defbyiv2802266732">A point of clarification. We are discussing treatment in a non-optimal window to ease application and increase selectivity. It would be interesting to see if persistent use of this approach will remove mugwort from a site and release the desired
species. To date, my experience has been that to truly dispense with mugwort, later-season treatment with potent herbicides has been demonstrated to be the effective approach.</div>

legumes (in general), have significant soil activity, and are generally safe to grasses and graminoids. We found ACP to provide reduction between 94 and 99 percent 1 year later, which was significantly more potent than CLP (8 to 65 percent). Reduction in AMP-treated

My recommendation really was just about the strategy to start early. Mugwort can take over a field if ignored, and spraying only in the fall after it seeds has not shown me any particular usefulness. So if you hit it when it is young short, it is easy to
avoid hitting other plants, helps suppress mugwort height, and does kill a fair percent of the plants.<u class="ydpa60defbyiv2802266732"></u><u class="ydpa60defbyiv2802266732"></u></p>

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
