Question: | "We are troubled with Dallis grass in out fairways and immediately around our greens. This grass is coarser than Bermuda grass and very hard to control with the mowing machine. So far we have found no means of controlling it except digging it up by the roots, which is expensive and otherwise objectionable." |
Source of Question: | Arkansas |
Answer/Response: | "In the area in which Dallis grass (Paspalum dilatatum) occurs, which is essectially the cotton belt, it is a rather undesirable plant on golf courses. This is true especially on the richer lands of the lower Mississippi Valley. We know of no other way of handling it except by cutting out the plants and as far as possible keeping the grass from forming seed both on and in the neighborhood of the course." |
