| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests potential methods of controlling weeds in home lawns. Defines weeds "as unwanted plants or plants growing out of place." Explains that "the proper identification of weeds and some understanding of how and why weeds are present in a lawn are important in selecting the best control strategy." Describes three types of weeds, including broadleaves, grasses, and sedges/rushes. States that "the first and best method of weed control begins with proper management practices that encourage a dense, thriving turf." Also describes possible methods of weed control, including mowing, hand pulling, mulch, and herbicides. Profles different types of herbicides, including selective, nonselective, contact, and systemic. Also discusses application timing. Mentions adjuvants, stating that "an adjuvant is a spray additive that enhances the performance or handling characteristic of an herbicide." |
