How to Control Weeds Around Farm Equipment

How to Control Weeds Around Farm Equipment

Weeds and grasses can quickly become overgrown around tractors, implements, storage areas, equipment yards and other locations where farm machinery is parked or stored.

Keeping unwanted vegetation under control can make equipment areas easier to access, inspect and maintain.

Where Do Weeds Grow Around Farm Equipment?

Common problem areas include:

• Equipment storage areas

• Gravel equipment yards

• Around barns and equipment sheds

• Along the edges of parking areas

• Between storage buildings

• Around stationary equipment

• Along access roads and pathways

Areas that cannot be easily reached with a mower or trimmer can be especially prone to overgrowth.

How to Treat Weeds Around Equipment Areas

Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer is a ready-to-use, non-selective weed and grass killer that can be applied directly to unwanted vegetation.

For best results:

• Apply to dry weeds and grasses

• Spray during full sun and dry conditions

• Thoroughly wet the unwanted vegetation

• Avoid spraying during wet or windy conditions

• Carefully control the spray around equipment and structures

• Avoid contact with desirable vegetation

No mixing or dilution is required.

Should You Spray Weed Killer Directly on Farm Equipment?

Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer is intended to be applied to unwanted weeds and grasses, not directly to tractors, machinery, tools or other equipment.

When treating vegetation around machinery, direct the spray toward the weeds rather than the equipment itself. Move portable equipment when practical to provide better access to the vegetation underneath and around it.

Always follow the product label directions when applying the product.

Be Careful Around Fields and Desirable Plants

Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer is non-selective, so it can damage vegetation it contacts.

When equipment areas are located near crops, pastures, lawns or other desirable vegetation, carefully direct the spray toward the unwanted weeds and grasses and avoid drift or overspray.

Maintain Equipment Areas Regularly

Regular inspection can help prevent weeds from becoming heavily established around machinery and storage areas.

Treat new growth as it appears, particularly around gravel surfaces, equipment sheds, access lanes and hard-to-mow areas. Mature, dormant or hardened weeds may require re-treatment.

When applied according to directions, Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer provides fast-acting control, with visible results typically seen in less than 24 hours.

Weed Control for Large Equipment Areas

Larger farms may have multiple equipment yards, storage buildings and access areas requiring regular weed control.

Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer is available in 30-gallon drums, 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon totes, providing larger-volume options for farms with extensive treatment areas.

For farms looking for a ready-to-use, glyphosate-free option for controlling unwanted weeds and grasses around equipment areas, Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer provides a practical solution for ongoing property maintenance.
