Coping With Field Bindweed Without Using Herbicides.
Field bindweed is more than a nuisance; it?s a pernicious weed. Like many nonnative invasives, bindweed is a tough plant that threatens to take over once it gets a toehold. Its cosmopolitan presence in many temperate climates has earned it 84 names in 29 different languages?most of those names are not kind.1 There aren?t many positive things to say about a plant that can smother a garden in a season and reappear Terminator-like after the most conscientious yanking. However, bindweed can be managed and even eliminated if you are persistent.

History
Field bindweed?s Latin name, Convolvulus arvensis describes the plant well, being derived from convolere, ?to entwine,? and arvensis, ?of the fields.?2 It also goes by the common names wild morning glory, creeping jenny, creeping charlie, cornbind, greenvine, and lovevine.3 Not to be confused with the annual ornamental morning glory (Ipomoea spp.), field bindweed is an aggressive perennial weed.3,4 Bindweed, a native of Eurasia, was sold as an ornamental in the U.S. in the early 1800s. It was firmly established in the West by the end of that century.1
