How to Control Weeds in Farm Fields

How to Control Weeds in Farm Fields

Weed control in and around farm fields can involve much more than the crops themselves. Field edges, fence lines, access roads, gravel areas and other non-crop areas can quickly become overgrown with unwanted weeds and grasses.

A regular weed-management program can help keep these areas maintained and prevent unwanted vegetation from becoming difficult to control.

Identify Where Vegetation Needs to Be Controlled

Before applying any weed killer, determine exactly where unwanted vegetation needs to be removed.

Around farm fields, common treatment areas can include:

• Field edges and boundaries

• Fence lines

• Gravel areas

• Drive lanes and access roads

• Pathways

• Areas around barns and outbuildings

• Other non-crop areas where vegetation is unwanted

When working near crops or other desirable vegetation, careful application is especially important.

Use a Non-Selective Weed Killer Carefully

Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer is a non-selective weed and grass killer, which means it can damage vegetation it contacts.

Do not spray crops or other desirable plants. When treating weeds near a field, carefully direct the spray toward the unwanted vegetation and avoid drift or overspray onto the crop.

Apply Directly to Unwanted Weeds and Grasses

Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer comes ready to use with no mixing required.

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

• Protect desirable vegetation from spray and drift

The product works through direct contact, so thorough coverage of the weeds and grasses being treated is important.

Treat Field Edges and Fence Lines Regularly

Field edges and fence lines are common areas for unwanted vegetation to become established.

Regular inspection allows weeds to be treated before they become mature or widespread. Mature, dormant or hardened weeds can be more difficult to control and may require re-treatment.

Maintaining these areas can also make fences, pathways and access areas easier to inspect and maintain.

How Quickly Will You See Results?

Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer is formulated for fast-acting weed and grass control.

When applied according to the product directions and under appropriate conditions, visible results can begin quickly, with results typically seen in less than 24 hours.

Weed Control for Larger Fields and Properties

Large farms may require substantial quantities of weed killer simply to maintain field boundaries, fence lines, roads and other non-crop areas.

Natural Armor Farm & Agricultural Weed Killer is available in 30-gallon drums, 55-gallon drums and 275-gallon totes for larger applications.

For farms looking for an alternative to glyphosate for appropriate non-selective vegetation-control applications, Natural Armor provides a ready-to-use, glyphosate-free option for managing unwanted weeds and grasses around farm fields and other non-crop areas.
