Question:"I enclose a sample of weed which is spreading on our course and would appreciate its identification and method of control."
Answer/Response:"The weed is identified as slender speedwell (Veronica filiformis). This is a particularly difficult species to control and is causing many a headache in Ireland and South-West England at present. Very careful mowing (boxing off all the cuttings), regular scarification and treatment with lawn sand containing calcined sulphate of iron are usually fairly effective in reducing its spread when the weed is apparent in small clumps. If it is fairly widespread you should try overall selective weedkiller spraying using a CMPP material or 2,4-DP. The most satisfactory results are obtained by repeat applications at four-weekly intervals at a time when the weeds are in their most vigourous condition."
