Bad Man’s Plaything, Old Man’s Mustard, Seven Year’s Love and Nosebleed - just some of the old folk names given to Yarrow!
to reach a minimum size before flowering. Seeds are set from July onwards. A plant may produce up to 6,000 seeds. The average seed number per stem is 210. Fresh seed requires a period of after- ripening. Seed germination increases after a period of dry- storage. Germination is greater in the light and in alternating temperatures. Seedlings require an open site in which to become established. Seedlings emerge from January to October but the main period of emergence is from March to April.
LEAVES: Feathery, long and narrow, easy to recognise even when the plant is not in flower.
REPRODUCTION: Yarrow has a well-developed fibrous root system and prostrate stems that root at the nodes and become far creeping stolons. The plant has branched rhizomes that generally remain in the top 10 cm of soil. There is a high degree of apical dominance in the rhizomes unless fragmented by cultivation. When fragmentation occurs more of the buds develop on the smaller fragments than on longer pieces where apical dominance is quickly re- imposed and bud development inhibited. Yarrow over winters as leaf rosettes that give rise to the leafy flowering shoots in spring.
CULTURAL CONTROL MEASURES: As a natural component of chalk grassland it has been included in seed mixtures to restore arable land back to grassland. It germinates best when the vegetation is cleared, somewhat less well if the vegetation is cut, and poorly if the vegetation is left uncut. Germination was high when
the seed was sown on chalk grassland grazed by rabbits. Where it has been sown in mixtures with grass it can sometimes spread too rapidly. Pastures should be close grazed with sheep in spring and early summer, although excessive early grazing can favour the weed. Sheep eat the plant when the leaves are young.
Applications of nitrogenous manures will reduce yarrow growth as will liming. In roadside verges, increased cutting frequency has no effect or slightly increases the frequency of yarrow. It does not survive regular cultivation.
CHEMICAL CONTROL MEASURES: We hear it all the time that Yarrow is very difficult to control - in fact it is one of the easiest weeds to control as the leaves are so soft and fern like, giving a great surface area for absorption of the chemical and it shows rapid responses to chemical application.
The selective herbicides are known to be successful in controlling this weed and there are others that are not listed which are equally as effective - Mascot Bastion T - Fluroxypyr and Mecoprop - P (Rigby Taylor)
Spearhead - Clopyralid, Diflufenican and MCPA (Bayer)
New Estermone - 2,4-D & Dicamba (Vitax)
Relay Turf - Mecoprop - P, MCPA & Dicamba (Headland Amenity)
Mascot Super Selective - Mecoprop - P, Dicamba, MCPA - (Rigby Taylor)
