In my experience, perilla rarely even shows a hint of flowering until after September 1st, and doesn't have viable seeds until late September. Since its an annual, keeping it from going to seed is all that's needed to reduce the population. If you chop the plants down once in early September when they have just started to flower, they will not have time to regrow and seed before the weather gets too cold. The density of plants in the area should be significantly less even the next year. Keep doing this for a few years and it will be virtually eliminated from the area, unless its an area that receives runoff water during heavy rains that bring seeds from another patch somewhere uphill (perilla patches are common in such areas).
