| Question: | "How can we control chickweed in our fairways? The turf is a mixture of bents, Poa annua, some clover, and a little bluegrass." |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "Two chemicals will control chickweed with minimum damage to turf grasses. They are sodium arsenite and potassium cynate. Sodium arsenite has been used successfully for this purpose for about 20 years. The latest recommendation is to use it at one pound to the acre (equivalent if liquid is used) in from 50 to 100 gallons of water, with a good wetting agent. Use it only when soil is moist, when turf grasses are growing well, and when temperatures are under 85° F. Potassium cyanate is marketed under about a dozen trade names. Follow manufacturers' directions. Some formulations combine potassium cyanate and sodium arsenite and the mixture looks promising. Potassium cyanate has been in use for selective crabgrass control and for chickweed control for about four years. It is non-poisonous and breaks down into fertilizer elements." |
