Field bindweed control in Safflower

Question

Are there any options for bindweed control in Safflower? Pre or Post?

Answer

The only things I've had work on bindweed is glyphosate spot sprayed to control it or tordon to kill it but the ground is dead for a couple years

Answer

I have tried Tryclopyr in bindweed with some success, although this cannot be used in crop with safflower but as a post harvest.  I have had the most success with a successive passes of roundup with a concentration of 1 gal/ac.   I use a Weed-it spot sprayer to make this economical and there is no soil residual. I've heard Quinclorac works on bindweed, but I haven't tried it yet. (Again, this would not be and in-crop treatment)
 @************* (CA), I also use an 1895 for my safflower and in no-till and I'm getting a good stand.  I plant just over 1" deep and only put 11-52 in-furrow and side band urea and AMS. (I'm in Idaho)

Answer

I haven’t been able to find much of anything I can use in crop on safflower but I do have a question. Are you doing no till with your safflower?  I have been having a very difficult time getting a good stand with safflower on No till and have not been able to figure it out. I can get a good stand using my old hoe drill but terrible with my disk drill JD 1895. Any help would be great.
