2013 Green Industry Training: Weed Law, ID and Management
1. Learning objectives
Understand Nevada weed law and
assist clients in complying with the law
Use plant biology to design effective
weed management strategies
Explain the differences between types
of herbicides, and know when to use
which
Identify 13 common weeds of turf and
landscapes
3. Weed terminology
A weed is a plant growing where it’s not
wanted
An invasive weed is one that moves in and
takes over an area
A noxious weed is a legal definition (NRS
555)
4. What is a “noxious” weed?
“any species of plant which is,
or is likely to be,
•detrimental or
•destructive and
•difficult to control or eradicate”
5. How do weeds become listed as “noxious”?
• Specific weeds are named as
“noxious” in Nevada Law
• In order to be listed, there must be
some hope of controlling or
eradicating the weed
6. The List
At the time that the Department lists a species, it will
also give a rating of A, B, or C. These ratings reflect:
• the Department’s view of the statewide
importance of the noxious weed,
• the likelihood that eradication or control efforts
would be successful, and
• the present distribution of noxious weeds within
the state.
These lists are found in the Nevada Administrative
Code
(NAC 555.010).
7. The Tiers
A Weeds normally limited in distribution throughout
the state; actively excluded from the state and
actively eradicated wherever found; actively
eradicated from nursery stock dealer premises;
control required by the state
B Weeds more widespread throughout the state;
actively excluded where possible, actively eradicated
from nursery stock dealer premises; control required
by the state in areas where populations are not well
established or previously unknown to occur
C Weeds generally widespread throughout the state;
actively eradicated from nursery stock dealer
premises; abatement at the discretion of the state
quarantine officer
8. Examples of A, B and C-listed weeds
A Listed B Listed C Listed
Yellow Diffuse Perennial
starthistle knapweed pepperweed
Dalmatian
Medusahead Puncturevine
toadflax
Leafy spurge Musk thistle Saltcedar
9. NRS CHAPTER 555
INSPECTION AND DESTRUCTION OF
NOXIOUS WEEDS
NRS 555.150
Every land owner or occupier, whether
private, city, county, or federal shall cut,
destroy, or eradicate all noxious weeds.

16. Growth stages: Seed production
Develop flowers and fruit
Energy directed toward
reproduction
17. Growth stage: Maturity
Top growth slows or stops
Little movement of water
and nutrients
Plant ‘dries down’ and drops
seed
Annual plants die
Perennial plant tops die in
preparation for regrowth
18. Plant life cycles
Annual
One season for all stages of
development
Produce foliage, flower seeds, then die Yellow starthistle
19. Plant life cycles:
winter annuals vs. summer annuals
Fall moisture
Warm soil
21. Plant life cycles
Biennials
Require two seasons for
completion of life cycle
First year: develop roots and
low-growing leaves
Second year: flowers, sets Musk thistle
seed and matures
Examples are mullein and
musk thistle
22. Plant life cycles
Perennials
Live more than two years
Will produce foliage, seed,
and reach maturity year
after year Dandelion
Examples are perennial
pepperweed and Canada
thistle
24. Reproduction
Perennials
Simple - reproduce by seed and pieces of root, such
as dandelions
Bulbous - produce seed, bulblets and bulbs, such as
wild onion
Creeping - produce seeds, rhizomes (underground
stems), stolons (above ground stems), or creeping
roots
25. Weeds are symptoms of problems
Soil is bare
Soil is disturbed regularly
Site is not monitored routinely
Site is not managed well (watering, mowing,
grazing, etc.)
Contaminated materials are used
Invasive ornamentals are planted
Wrong controls are used
Etc…
27. Integrated Weed Management
Uses knowledge about how the
ecosystem works to find
environmentally sound solutions to
weed problems.
28. IWM preferred methods
Select plant materials that are well-
adapted to our climate and growing
conditions so they can compete with
weeds
Encourage natural controls
Manage landscapes correctly to reduce
weed problems
Etc.
29. Steps in using IPM on weeds
Identify and assess the problem before you
do anything – is it bad enough to warrant
action? Why do you have a problem?
Use all the tools in your toolbox to
accomplish the desired result while
minimizing undesirable outcomes
Consider mechanical, cultural, biological
and chemical controls and match them to
plant biology
31. Preventing invasion and spread of
weeds
Plant clean, certified weed-free seed
Avoid spreading weed seeds with manure
Sanitize your equipment prior to moving
them from one property to another
Plant and maintain desirable plant species
Don’t sell or plant invasive or noxious
weed species
32. Preventing invasion and spread of
weeds
Monitor plant stock for
infestations
Minimize soil
disturbance and bare
ground
Apply the appropriate
amount of water
Avoid driving in weed
infested areas
33. Cultural control
Use land management tools that
make it difficult for weeds to be
successful
The key: nurture healthy,
successful, desirable competitive
vegetation!
35. Cultural control
Water management
Even water distribution
Good drainage
Water in early morning
Schedule irrigation based on plant
needs
Drip irrigation when appropriate
37. Cultural control
Aerating
Increases the activity of soil
microorganisms that decompose
thatch
Increases water, nutrient and
oxygen movement into the soil
Improves rooting
Enhances infiltration of rainfall
or irrigation
40. Cultural control
Mowing turf
Mow heights based on species of grass
Never remove more than about 1/3rd of
the leaf blade
Never scalp!
Keep blades sharp
Clean mower after mowing weeds
Don’t mow when soil is wet (compacts)
42. Burning and flaming
Burning can promote invaders by
removing competing vegetation
Penetration into soil is limited;
does not kill perennial roots
Does not disturb the soil but can
destroy organic matter
May need burn permit
Wildfire concerns
43. Mechanical control
Repeated tillage can help reduce seed
populations – but disturbs the soil!
Mulching (with or without fabrics) – must
exclude light; organic mulches can serve as
substrates for weed seed germination
45. Biological control
Biological control is the use of
one organism to suppress
another
Can reduce pesticide use
Agents can be free or purchased
Can effectively and
economically suppress pests
Does not eradicate a weed
USDA-ARS
47. How do you pick the right method?
Identify the weed
Learn its biology:
Annual
Biennial
Perennial
How does it spread?
UNCE: www.manageNVpests.info
UC Weed Photo Gallery:
http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/weeds_intro.html
Pacific Northwest Weed Management Handbook weed ID:
http://weeds.ippc.orst.edu/pnw/weeds?weeds/id/index.html
48. Consider mechanical control for
annuals and biennials
Perennial invasive weeds often
require the use of herbicides for
complete control
49. How do you pick the right method?
How much is there?
What are the goals for the site?
What special site conditions limit what you can
do?
What will the client allow and pay for?
How fast do you need results?
50. Herbicides
Chemical name
Ex: N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine
Common name
Glyphosate
Brand or trade name
Roundup, Aquamaster,
Weed-b-Gone, Rodeo, etc.
51. Thirteen steps to follow before using
herbicides:
1. Identify the weeds
2. Determine their life cycle
3. Consider all control alternatives
4. Select the chemical based on
effectiveness, safety, and price
52. Thirteen steps to follow before using
herbicides:
5. Read the label carefully and make sure the
herbicide is labeled for the site
6. Determine the best time to apply the
chemical
7. Is the chemical restricted-use-only?
8. Consider proximity to water, nearby trees or
shrubs, soil composition, tendency to
contaminate water supplies
53. More things to consider!
10. Check the weather
11. Have you read and do you have a copy of the
MSDS?
12. Are you applying the appropriate amount by
the best method?
13. Do you understand all necessary safety
requirements, and have you followed them
carefully? (gloves, hat, eye protection, long
sleeves, long pants, shoes, etc.)
54.
55. HAZARD = Toxicity x Exposure
Risk, or
the The capacity of a
potential pesticide to cause
for injury injury The risk of a
pesticide
contacting or
entering the
body
56. Hazards increase…
when mixing and
loading the
concentrate
with a very high single
exposure
after many exposures
over time
57. How do soil-applied herbicides work?
Move into plant with the soil water
solution
Absorption takes place across the cell
walls of the root hairs
Non-germinating seeds not affected
58. How do foliar-applied herbicides work?
More difficult than with root absorption
Plant cuticle is an effective barrier
Must penetrate cuticle, might need wetting
agent or oil carrier for herbicide
Need uniform application to cover plant (need
adequate surface area)
Must remain on plant for 6-12 hours
Warm humid conditions ideal

64. Selective herbicides
Used to kill a specific type of weed
Broadleaf herbicides--- kill/control broadleaf
weeds only i.e. 2,4-D, Curtail, Tordon
Grass herbicides--- control only grasses in
broadleaf plantings i.e. Poast, Fusilade
65. Nonselective herbicides
Kills most or all of the vegetation in
the area covered
May be pre- or post-emergent
chemicals
Example is Roundup
ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW THE
LABEL DIRECTIONS!
66. How do herbicides work?
(modes of action)
Interfere with or disrupt biochemical or
physiological processes in susceptible plants
Often affect a specific enzyme or reaction
Ex:
amino acid synthsis inhibitors –
glyphosate, imazapyr, chlorsulfuron
growth regulators – 2,4-
D, dicamba, clopyralid, aminopyralid, triclopyr
Seedling growth inhibitors – trifluralin, dichlobenil
67. Pre-emergent Post-emergent
herbicides herbicides
Applied to soil Must be applied to living
plant tissue
Kills plants as they
germinate and pick up Little or no soil activity
chemical in young roots
Must be watered or tilled in
May have some post-
emergent activity
69. Site of action
Contact Herbicides Systemic Herbicides
All parts of the plant Applied to plant tissue
must be covered to kill
Is translocated through
entire plant
the plant to the roots
Usually quick acting
Takes time to work!
Most often used for
Used for perennials
annuals
70. 1 drop of a translocated herbicide (2,4-D) placed on a
soybean leaf (left) vs. a contact herbicide (right)
71.
72. Commonly used herbicides
Glyphosate
Non-selective
Systemic
Half life ~47 days
Readily available to
homeowners
But…does not kill all
weeds
Should be applied to
young, actively growing
weeds
73. Commonly used herbicides
2,4-D
Broadleaf selective
Half life ~30 days
Used in weed and feed
type products and for
weed control in lawns
Can damage adjacent
plants if it volatilizes
74. Commonly used herbicides
Mecoprop (MCPP) salt 0.22%
2,4-D salt 0.12%
Dicamba salt 0.05%
Broadleaf selective
Half life ~30 days or less
Used for weed control in
lawns
Can damage adjacent plants
if it volatilizes (especially
dicamba; also mobile in soil)
76. Why do pre-emergence herbicides fail?
Label directions not followed – not
watered in
Applied at the wrong time – plants
already sprouted or will sprout after
product has broken down (winter vs.
summer annuals)
Herbicide layer is physically disturbed
Wrong product used
77. Factors that affect movement of the
herbicide into the leaf
Maximum kill will be obtained under warm, humid
conditions with adequate soil moisture
Environment influences both the herbicide uptake
and how the plant is growing
78. Adjuvant types
Activators (enhance activity)
Surfactants (nonionic, etc. – most widely used)
Oil adjuvants (petroleum oil concentrates)
Utility adjuvants
Wetting agents (spreaders)
Dyes
Drift/foaming control agents
pH buffers
Water conditioners
Etc.
82. Managing resistence
Use Mode of Action information
Avoid using products with the
same mode of action year after
year
83.
84. Pesticide formulations
When selecting, consider:
Application method
Ease of storage and mixing
Risk when handling
Risk of moving off-target
Cost
86. Granular spreaders
Drop (gravity) spreaders
pattern= width of spreader
uniform coverage or target
area
Rotary spreaders
coverage wider than spreader
overlap required for
uniformity
drift to nontarget areas
87. Applying granular products
Fill equipment on paved surface
Make “header” strips around the property
Keep material off paved surfaces and out of
flower beds
Treat property with parallel swaths
Use correct overlap
Turn off spreader before header strip
88. Applying granular products
Keep spreader level
Walk at consistent pace
Don’t stop without shutting
off spreader
Don’t operate backwards
Application may change
89. Spray equipment
Traditional spray guns
Shower head gun
Large droplets
Low pressure
Spray wand
Spray booms
90. Small-capacity sprayers
Used for small areas and spot treatments:
Most are hand sprayers
Most use compressed air
May have a wand, gun, small boom
Tank pressure drops as solution is sprayed
Minimal agitation -- WPs settle
91. Application techniques
Apply only the amount needed for the desired
level of control
Apply only where pests are located
Don’t allow activities to reduce effectiveness:
Rain, not watering-in, etc.
92. Steps in reducing pesticide risk
Choose the right pesticide product and
apply it at the right time
Read and follow the product label
Purchase/mix only what you need
Use the product according to label
directions
Watch the weather
Store and dispose of the pesticide properly
94. Weeds in turf
Compete with turf for:
Growing space
Water
Nutrients
Sunlight
95. Weeds are the result of poor
A dense, healthy stand of
turf is the performance,
turfgrass best defense
against weed invasions
not the cause!
96. Weeds and site conditions
Compacted soil: knotweed, annual bluegrass
Wet areas: white clover, annual bluegrass
Heavy wear: spurge, knotweed
97. Steps in a turfgrass IPM program
Turf and pest Select corrective
knowledge action(s) based on:
• Historical data
• Turf and pest life
Monitor turf cycles
regularly • Problem diagnosis
• Factors favoring
pests
• Predetermined
Diagnose
thresholds
problem
Evaluate and record results for Take appropriate
future management decisions corrective action
98. IWM for turfgrass
Assess site conditions:
How turf is used
Amount of shade
Soil fertility and pH
Soil compaction
Drainage
Presence of excess thatch
Current management – mowing height
and frequency, aeration, fertilization,
etc.
101. Survey for weeds
Find them
Identify them
How many are there?
When do they occur? Certain times
of the year, certain weather, etc.
How long have they been there?
What else is going on at the site?
102. Common turf weeds
Black medic Dallisgrass
White clover Johnsongrass
Plantains Quackgrass
Spotted spurge Nimblewill
Common mallow Yarrow
Annual poa Dandelion
103. Control of Annual Weeds
Prevent seed set
Monitor and find weeds early in their
development
Use mechanical and cultural methods
If herbicides are used, apply to
young, actively growing plants
Be prepared to deal with pre-existing
seed bank
104. Control of Biennial Weeds
Prevent seed set
Use mechanical and cultural
methods
Dig out rosettes in the first year
Be prepared to deal with
preexisting seed bank
105. Control of Perennial Weeds
Must control existing plant as well
as preventing seed set
Control is made more difficult by
resprouting from roots
Herbicides are often needed
Make sure you pick the right
product for the specific weed
106. Control of Perennial Weeds
Non-selective herbicides kill any
type of susceptible vegetation
treated (Roundup)
Selective herbicides work on a
category of plants, such as
broadleaf vs. grasses (2,4-
D, Fusilade)
108. Black medic (Medicago lupulina)

perennial
Light-green, flattened stems that are
bent at the base
Leaf blades often crinkled part-way
down
Prolific seeder
Shallow roots form weak sod
Found in compacted, moist areas;
tolerates some shade
Look for “boat-shaped” leaf tips that
curve up like the bow of a boat (Poa)
119. How much is too much?
Depends on aesthetics, how turf will be
used, how much damage the pest can
cause, what client wants
One dandelion may be too many, while for
a golf course fairway, 5% white clover may
be the threshold
Try to discourage homeowners from having
completely weed-free monocultures
Stress the importance of establishing a
reasonable threshold level
120. Apply controls
Match controls to weed species,
growth stage, threshold levels, etc.
Spot-treat whenever possible
Consider safety for the applicator
and the residents/users of the turf
Nontarget effects? Phytotoxicity?
Avoid drift and runoff
122. Monitor and keep records
How did your controls work?
Did weather conditions affect
treatment?
Include date of treatment,
location, product used, rates,
formulations, application method,
etc.
