How do I get rid of common lespedeza?

If lespedeza has already begun to grow, apply postemergence herbicides to kill the weed. Both atrazine and simazine also function as postemergence herbicides; herbicides containing 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, which are sometimes called 2,4-D or three-way herbicides, are also effective.

What is the best product to get rid of clover?

Mix one cup of vinegar with a cup of water and one drop of dish soap. Shake it up and spray it onto any patches of clover. The vinegar will dry out the clover's leaves, and the dish soap will make sure it sticks. You may need to spray over a series of weeks to kill off the clover completely.

Control: Herbicide: triclopyr (32 oz/acre), triclopyr + fluroxypyr (1.5 pt/acre), or glyphosate (1-2 qt/acre) can be used to effectively control sericea in early successional areas from June through July when sericea is 12-18 inches tall.

Is lespedeza annual or perennial?

Perennial. Sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneate) is the only perennial species used for forage production. This species is drought-resistant and can tolerate shade, but it is not well adapted to poorly drained soils. Sericea lespedeza is a shrubby plant that is about 2–5 feet tall.

Very few herbicides for broadleaf weed control have provided good control of sericea lespedeza. Sericea has not been controlled with 2,4-D, and minimal kill has been achieved with a combination of picloram and 2,4-D (Tordon RTU^TM or Pathway ^TM) or dicamba and 2,4,D (Weedmaster^TM).
