| Abstract/Contents: | Winter annual weeds germinate in late summer or early fall when daytime temperatures do not consistently exceed the mid 70's. Control of weeds involves growing healthy, competitive turf and the possible use of selective herbicides. Weeds are opportunistic and will take advantage of neglected weak turf. Growing conditions favoring certain weed infestations and growth are discussed. The first step in control is proper weed identification and an understanding of its biology. This is supported by scouting to determine which weed(s) are present and at what density. If used, herbicides must be selected which will provide adequate control without harming the turfgrass. This decision is greatly influenced by the intent to overseed the turf with a cool-season grass for winter color. Discusses the newest herbicides for selective weed control, some precautionary steps to follow before herbicide use, and a winter weed management schedule for warm season turfgrasses. |
