Control recommendations for dandelion in annual crops as listed in the MB and SK Weed Guides. It is known for its ability to tolerate saline soils but is capable of productive growth on all soil types. It propagates mainly by seed which emerges from the top 3 cm of soil. Seed is spread by wind, machinery, and animals and germinates in the cooler temperatures of fall or spring. Seed germinating in the fall can overwinter and resume growth in early spring giving it a competitive advantage over many crops.
Cultivation effectively controls seedlings and established plants.
Reduced tillage allows foxtail barley to thrive. In addition to glyphosate use, certain agronomic practices can help manage foxtail barley. MON 375000, a new herbicide in the testing stage, can control foxtail barley in spring wheat. Foxtail barley biomass and crop grain yield response to glyphosate applied before seeding. Foxtail barley biomass and crop yield response to post-harvest glyphosate.
