Mechanical Ironweed Plant Control Early mowing followed by a subsequent mowing a month later has been shown to give the greatest control. Mowing by late May to early June followed by mechanical intervention when plants are 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm.) tall can reduce up to 87 percent of the population.

How do you control ironweed plants?
Mowing alone can help suppress top growth of tall ironweed plants, but does not reduce plant populations. Mowing or clipping pasture fields, which is often performed once per year, can also lead to more multi-stemmed tall ironweed plants.
How do you control ragweed pastures?
If you do graze heavily or cut hay, spraying herbicides like 2,4-D or Grazon or Curtail or Weedmaster after grazing or cutting gives good control of ragweed seedlings and small plants. And if ragweed gets away, shredding in September can reduce seed production.
Is Ironweed good for anything?

Does mowing improve pasture?
If we mow or graze too close, we may eventually kill off that plant and possibly favor growth of fescue, bluegrass and weeds. If we graze or mow higher, we favor orchardgrass growth and allow all the grasses to continue leaf development without the roots ceasing growth to produce new leaves.
Will mowing kill ragweed?
Regular mowing helps prevent ragweed from flowering and dispersing seeds.
Does Roundup kill ragweed?
A general herbicide, such as the widely used glyphosate, will also kill ragweeds. ... You may need to reapply herbicides for larger ragweed plants.
