Evaluation of Methods for Management of Bindweed in New York Vineyards

Abstract

Objectives: 1. Determine the carryover effects of the 2019 treatments on field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis). Because of its perennial nature, it is important to understand not just how well the treatments worked in a given season, but also if they have any impact on regrowth of the weed in subsequent years. 2. With one year of efficacy and economic data from several herbicide, non-chemical, and integrated treatments in both hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium) and field bindweed, we aimed to replicate these trials to better gauge the variability between years. 3. Disseminate our findings to New York growers.
