Email: mvisto@drtel.net
I have had a weed pop up in our no-till that I am having a hard time finding out any information to control it. The weed is called Virginia Ground Cherry and it is a perenial from the nightshade family. It grows back from both seed and from a large deep root structure. Roundup when the plants are small don't seem to phase it much, probably because of the large root area as compared to top growth (ie. not enough chemical to kill the roots). Can anyone give me some tips on controlling this weed?

It takes very high rates of Roundup to get its attention. Most of the growth regulators don't do much either, although a few ounces of Tordon in the fall (if going to corn or milo the next year) can thin it out. In soybeans, Blazer does an excellent job of burning it off, which will let the beans get ahead of it (if beans are solid-seeded). Flexstar/Reflex doesn't do as good, Cobra doesn't do much of anything on this specie. Authority suppresses it. None of the SU or imi products have any effect that I can discern. This is one perennial that we haven't done all that well at eliminating w/ our no-till programs.

I'm not sure how to submit a question regarding the control of Virginia Ground Cherry.
It is a problem in here in SW Colorado and we are having trouble controlling it. Matt recommended a high rate of Roundup. What is a high rate? I was thinking about using 5% (4qts/A). Is this about right, or should we go stronger? I want to kill as much of the root system as possible. Tordon is not an option. Thanks for any help. Jim
