Cheatgrass control - Plateau? Ornamec?
I have a wildflower garden that recently (past year) has been invaded by
cheatgrass. I spent much time pulling this grass out, and I sacrificed heavily infested areas by spraying roundup. I then followed this up by trying to establish native grasses. This worked in some areas, but as I look out over the wildflower garden this fall, I see the cheatgrass infestation returning in a number of areas (cue the psycho music...). I need help. I've seen on the internet references to a herbicide called Pateau that seems to target cheatgrass specifically. Does anyone know anything more about this, and where I could purchase this? Another possible herbicide that's been mentioned (though not specifically for cheatgrass) is Ornamec 170. Has anyone successfully fought off cheatgrass, and can provide some advice? Any experience with the herbicides mentioned (or other controls)? Thanks, Dave Klein |

Thanks, Dave Klein I have no experience with anything but Roundup, but I will ask my brother, who's a farmer in Montana, what he uses, though I think he just sprays early in the spring with the Roundup. You'll never get rid of it if your neighbors don't kill it too. Cindy |
