HOW TO DESTROY
MIGNONETTE VINE:
Hand pull young vines or seedlings. Take
care to collect all tubers, which are easily
dislodged, and can regrow. Burn them or
put them in a bag to rot.
Use a herbicide such as metsulfuron (eg
Escort), glyphosate or picloram (eg Vigilant)
for larger infestations, although there is no
label recommendation on these herbicides
specifying Mignonette vine.
Guidance for using metsulfuron (eg Escort,
meturon or zeal)
Best results for controlling mignonette
vine with metsulfuron are achieved from
November to May.
If using a handgun – mix 35 gm of
metsulfuron with 100 L of water.
If using a knapsack, mix 5 gm of

Guidance for using glyphosate
Best results for controlling Mignonette
vine with glyphosate are achieved from
January to April when the plant is
flowering.
If using a handgun – mix 750 ml of
glyphosate with 100 L of water.
If using a knapsack, mix 75 ml of
glyphosate with 10 L of water.
