Weed Management in the Vineyard from Spring to Fall Doug Doohan Horticulture & Crop Science, OSU Doohan.1@osu.edu 330 202 3593 Characteristics of Weeds Diversity & density can be astounding Adaptations enable species to survive
Characteristics of Weeds
- Diversity & density can be astounding
- Adaptations enable species to survive
- Adapted to co-exist with the crop
- Modify behavior to cope with weed control
- Germination, emergence and reproduction is
environmentally timed.
- Impact on crops almost always underestimated
3 things that make or break weed control
- site preparation
- Right herbicide, applied at the right
time, and at the right rate
- Preventing re-infestation
Uncontrolled Perennials Invade Area Under the Trellis from Sod
Site preparation
starts 2 years before planting-
- Fallow (sod):
- Tillage to break dormancy in
rhizomes/ rootstocks
- Glyphosate (+ Stinger) on
regrowth; repeat as needed
- Fall-seeded Cover
- Roundup Ready Crops: up to 3
applications/ year 60-75 days apart
- Seeding of permanent inter-row
covers
stage of growth
- CT: early bloom or
rosette stage in fall
- QG: 4 to 5 leaf stage
to heading
- BW: early bloom
1 to 2 qt/A, in 8-12 GPA
- fall best
- till 4-7 days later

Site Preparation
- 2 years before planting-
Inter-row Cover Crops
- Tall/ hard fescue (can take more
than 1 year to fully establish)
– Late summer/ early fall – 50 - 75 lb/A/ 25 – 50 lb/A – Include a trace of perennial ryegrass – 50 lb N/ A at seeding/ spring
- Bed Formation/ Irrigation
- In-row
– Perennial rye

Summary
- Know Crop/ Herbicide History Before Planting
- Begin Eradicating Perennials 12-18 months
before planting
- Use PRE Herbicides for “Broad-Spectrum” Weed
Control after Transplanting
- Incorporate Other Chemistries in Year 2 and
beyond
- Develop and Implement a Clean Up Plan
