Abstract

Wild garlic (Allium vineale L.) plants were buried 10, 15, and 20 cm deep in soil at 2-week intervals from September 1 until November during a 4-yr period. Plants were also buried in early spring. When buried 15 to 20 cm deep after mid-October, less than 5% of the plants produced above-ground shoots during the following 2 yr. When buried 15 to 20 cm deep on April 1, no above-ground shoots were produced during the following 2 yr, but burial on April 15 was less effective. These data suggest that deep plowing at the proper date may control wild garlic if subsequent tillage is shallow enough to avoid bringing wild garlic bulbs to the surface.
