How Do You Kill Leafy Spurge

Picloram with 2,4-D historically has been the most effective herbicide control for Leafy spurge. This can be applied at any point during the growing season, with good results in the spring when sprayed while the spurge is actively growing; during the true flower growth stage in mid-June and on fall regrowth.

How do I get rid of leafy spurge?

Tordon is one of the most effective herbicide for leafy spurge control. Treat large, readily accessible areas for three to four consecutive years. For more remote locations, Tordon can be spot sprayed at 2/quarts/A but not more than 50% of an acre can be treated in any year.

Does Roundup kill leafy spurge?

The nonselective herbicide Roundup (a formulation of glyphosate), sprayed on leafy spurge foliage as a 33-percent solution (one part Roundup in three parts water), will provide 80- to 90-percent top control if applied between mid-August and mid-September.
