How To Control Weeds Growth In Garden

The methods and measures you take against weeds growth in your garden fall under four different categories

. These include mechanical or cultivation such as hand weeding or hand-pulling, cropping or cultural when you use seeds which are strong and of good adaptable variety or the ones which can quickly germinate, biological methods which include planting quick growing crops with consuming large leaf area and finally the chemical method that involves use of pesticides and fungicides for weed control.

Each method has its qualities but a good farmer mainly uses any one of these methods or sometimes a combination of them to control weeds in the garden. In case there are just a few weeds in the garden then it would be wise to deal with them locally with simple methods like digging them out using two pronged fork.

However if they are the rosette variety of weeds or the type which has long tap roots then you can spot treat them with the help of selective weed killer. This can be applied using a aerosol container or with a puffer pack. The other method would be injecting the weed killer into or o the leaves of the weed depending on the instructions given in the weed killer product.

In case of bad infestation of weeds in your garden it might be necessary to treat your entire lawn. After you have sprayed the weed killer on the plants, they are absorbed by the leaves into the sap and are ten circulated through the plant. Therefore the weed killer would be more effective when they are applied during late spring or during early summer when the plants grow fast.

This type of weed killer is a perfect solution for plant hormones which actually stimulate the plant cells through which they multiply rapidly which however takes place in some types of plants. It is also more likely in particularly the tips of shoots and so the weed killer upsets the metabolism of the plant to a fatal extent.

You should also remember that the grass killer would be more effective when you use them in fine spray and cover the maximum leaf and shoot surface. Moreover you can even try using soil sterilants and soil fumigants which can completely clean the soil and remove all the plants so that the soil is again ready for planting fresh plants in the lawn. However make sure you use these week control products according to their specifications.
