How to Kill a Vine Weed With White Flowers

    • 1). Wait until the fallow season when crops are not growing. This is the safest time to use any herbicide and is the most effective time to kill the weed.

    • 2). Spray a herbicide containing glyphosate if you can void spraying nearby crops. The vine weed's foliage will absorb it, moving it down to the root system and killing the roots. The root system is extensive and repeated applications of a herbicide are necessary to kill it.

    • 3). Allow the vine weed to produce flowers before spraying it again. Spray these chemicals while the flowers are blooming. "More translocated herbicide will be moved to the root system when the plant is flowering than when vegetatively growing," according to James Atland of Oregon State's North Willamette Research & Extension Center.

    • 4). Till the vine weeds multiple times during the growing season in addition to using herbicides. Wait one to two weeks after it re-emerges to till.
