| Abstract/Contents: | Responds to the question "For the past several winters I hav been battling Florida betony. It is infesting my St. Augustine grass lawn and has invaded my flower beds. Is there anything, besides hand pulling, that I can do to stop its spread?" Discusses the growing cycle of Florida betony, "an aggressive cool-season perennial weed in the mint family (Lamiaceae) that occurs throught the Southeast from Florida north to Virginia and west to Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas." Describes the plant stating that it "is a formidable foe because of its network of underground stems, or rhizomes, which bear white tubers at their tips." Addresses treatment, emphasizing the importance of removing the rhizomes and tubers if hand pulling is used to remove it. Also states that Florida betony can be spot treated using a "post-emergence herbicide containing 2,4-D + MCPP + dicamba (Trimec, Weed-B-Gon)." |
