Weed Watch

May is upon us and even though the cool season weeds are heading out it is time to start watching for your warm season weeds.
We need to control weeds when they are young about 4 inches tall as a general rule. So be watching for your young weeds coming up in your landscape and get on them early. If you choose to use a herbicide it is vital you properly identify the weed first. If you can't identify the weed please bring it by the office at 401 Fairgrounds in Alamogordo and we will ID it.
Once the weed is properly identified then use the publication Chemical Weed and Brush Control for New Mexico Rangelands  to properly select the correct herbicide, time and application rate.
