| Answer/Response: | "Unfortunately we know of no very easy method of ridding greens of crab grass. Much can be done toward checking its introduction into the turf of greens if the greens are constucted so that they are not overwashed by rains falling on the fairway or rough, as much crab grass seed is carried to greens, by heavy rains, from nearby infested turf. To remove crab grass successfully, the plants should be pulled out by hand before they get a chance to grow large, and indeed upon their first appearence. One man, woman, or child can pull more crab grass in a day at this stage than three can pull after the plants have reached the branching stage. The Greens should first be watered fairly well, as the plants can be pulled out much more easily if the soil is not hard. Constant attention is necessary during the entire season also, as seeds, which are constantly being carried to greens, germinate quickly, and the plants mature in a short time and produce abundant seed. A single plant allowed to go to seed will infest a large area." |
