| Integrated Pest Management Control Recommendations: |
Cultural Practices:
Small hop clover is a annual weed that is found on dry, gravelly soils
such as roadsides. Increasing fertility and irrigation to allow the turf
to compete will also reduces the competitiveness of the hop clover. Regular
mowing reduces flower development and seed production.
Herbicide
Use:
Make your post-emergent herbicide application when small hop clover is
young and actively growing.
