Question:"I am sending you a sample of a weed which seems to be taking our greens. It spreads very fast. Some of the greens have as high as 200 patches of this weed from 1 ½ inch to 1 foot in diameter. What is the weed and how shall we control it?"
Source of Question:Nebraska
Answer/Response:"Your weed is the common chickweed. The best way to get rid of it is to burn it with ammonium sulfate or ammonium phosphate. Have a man take a bag of the chemical and go over the greens and sprinkle a small quantity on each patch, letting it stand for one day; and then follow this with a thorough watering to wash the chemical down into the soil. Some of the grass will be burned by this treatment, but the damage to the grass will be only temporary. These chemicals, aside from their fertilizing value, will with continued use as a fertilizer get the soil into a condition so acid that the chickweed will no longer invade the greens, while the growth of the grass will be improved."
