![]() It carries a Caution signal word and requires long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes and socks during application. Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide that may kill or harm any plants that come in contact with the spray. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by plant tissues and carried to the roots causing the entire plant to die usually within about a week. Two of the more widely used systemic herbicides are glyphosate and triclopyr. If foliar treatment is necessary, it is important to take measures to reduce off-site and non-target effects. For most woody vines, the most effective method of control is to cut the vine stem and apply a concentrated mix of systemic herbicide immediately to the cut surface. If needed, the rate can be increased but not above the rate provided on the pesticide label. For most herbaceous vines, a systemic herbicide containing glyphosate (e.g., Accord®, Roundup®, Rodeo®) can be applied to the foliage at a rate of 1-3% mixed in water. For large infestations spanning extensive areas of ground, a foliar herbicide may be the best choice rather than manual or mechanical means which could result in soil disturbance. Whenever possible and especially for vines climbing up trees or buildings, a combination of cutting followed by application of concentrated systemic herbicide to rooted, living cut surfaces is likely to be the most effective approach. The method you select depends on the extent and type of infestation, the amount of native vegetation on the site, and the time, labor and other resources available to you. Employing a combination of methods often yields the best results and may reduce potential impacts to native plants, animals and people. Manual, mechanical and chemical control methods are all effective in removing and killing woody vines. ![]() Notice: mention of a trade name does not constitute the endorsement of the product by authors, agencies or organizations involved in the production of this publication.
