Question: | "We are sending you a specimen of a weed which is invading our putting greens. Please let us know what the weed is and whether or not we can control it with applications of sulphate of ammonia. To attempt to dig it out by hand would doubtless be too expensive." |
Source of Question: | Quebec |
Answer/Response: | "The weed you send is creeping buttercup. Most of these large-leaved plants are likely to be checked if they are treated repeatedly with heavy applications of sulphate of ammonia. This forces the growth, and when the greens are cut closely the leaves of the plant are likely to be cut off. This treatment gradually weakens the plant. The process is, however, a gradual one, and it will probably be necessary to repeat the operation a number of times. In your locality it would probably be better to undertake this treatment in the spring than in the fall, since the forcing of turf grasses late in the fall by application of sulphate of ammonia renders them more susceptible to damage from snowmold over winter." |
