Abstract/Contents:Describes crabgrass, explaining that "there are three major crabgrass species distributed in the United States; large, smooth and southern." Discusses crabgrass management, focusing on "selective herbicides applied prior to crabgrass germination (preemergence) or postemergence herbicides applied when crabgrass has emerged." Describes a study "initiated to investigate various types of physical disturbance on crabgrass emergence, development and seed production." Concludes that "crabgrass emergence varied little among the openings greater than 2 [inches]", suggesting that any disturbance will result in crabgrass infestation if a seedbank is available," and reports that "initial crabgrass emergence began when soil temperatures in the undisturbed turf were between 54° and 58° F [Fahrenheit] for 3 consecutive days at the 1 inch depth."
