Vines are difficult to ControlRoots, Rhizomes, and Stolons
Effective Herbicide Treatments
To be successful with herbicides require
• the most effective herbicide,
• applied using the correct method, and
• applied during the best time period.
Prescribed Burning and grazing can assist by preparing the site and severing vines for treatingregrowth.
Usually only lower portion of vines must be treated

Recommended control procedures: Foliar Sprays July to Oct
Garlon 4, Garlon 3A, or Glyphosate as a 2-4% solution (8-16 ozs. per 3-gal. mix). Basal Sprays Garlon 4 as 20% in oil mix.
Cut Treat Garlon 4 or Glyphosate as a 25% solution (32 ozs. per 1-gal. mix).
Cut vines to prevent further seeding.

Recommended control procedures:
Foliar sprays Garlon 3A or Garlon 4 as a 2% solution July to October.Sometimes the air yams take up the herbicide: otherwise, bulbils must be collected anddestroyed to prevent sprouting (do not attemptto compost).
Cut-treat climbing plants just above the soilsurface and immediately treat the freshly cutstem with undiluted Garlon 3A.

Recommended control procedures:
Foliar Spray Tordon 101 as a 3% solution or Tordon K as a 2% solution in June to October.
Foliar Spray repeatedly apply Garlon 4 ora Glyphosate herbicide as a 2% solution in June to December, a less effective treatment that has no soil activity to damage surrounding plants.
Cut all vertical climbing stems to prevent fruiting and spread by birds.

Recommended control procedures:Recommended control procedures:
Foliar Spray Garlon 3A or Garlon 4 as a 3 to 5% solution or a Glyphosate herbicide as a 2 to 4% solution in July to December.Use a string trimmer to reduce growth layers andinjure leaves for improved herbicide uptake.
Cut-treat large vines with these herbicides.
Basal spray or wipe Garlon 4 as a 20 to 40% solution in oil mixture, being careful to avoid the bark of the host tree.

Recommended control procedures:
Foliar Spray Escort at 2 oz per acre in June to October. or by spot spraying 2 to 4 oz per acre in water
Foliar Spray Glyphosate herbicide as a 2% solution orGarlon 3A or Garlon 4 as a 3- 5% solution in June to December.
Cut-treat freshly cut stem with a Glyphosate herbicide or Garlon 3A as a 20% solution July to October.
Prescribed burning in spring will reduce dense ground mats and sever climbing vines for more effective herbicide treatments to resprouting vines.
