Abstract/Contents:"Most weeds can be selectively controlled in turfgrass areas with chemicals, called herbicides. There are, however, a few weeds that are extremely difficult to control. To prevent weeds, one should maintain a dense, vigorously growing turf. This is especially important for those weeds which are difficult to control since competitive turf might be the only technique for control. To make grass grow at its best, one should use adapted and improved grasses, properly mow, waster and fertilize, control insects and diseases, reduce traffic and wear, etc. Correcting the cause of poor turf will reduce the chance of weed invasion. If you do not correct the cause of poor turf, then new weeds will take over again. To have a successful weed program, you must couple good management with the use of herbicides. Remember, herbicides are only a tool to make the job easier. There are many herbicides available. To be successful, you must identify the weed problem, select the correct herbicide, follow the directions and precautions on the label and apply it properly. You must follow instructions to get the best results. The right amount of chemical must be used or the weed will not be killed. An overdose may injure the grass and with some chemicals you may even get poor weed control." Outlines methods used to control persistent weeds including selective and non-selective means. Specific weeds discussion include goosegrass, annual bluegrass, bentgrass, nut sedge, broadleaf weeds, creeping speed well, prostrate, and purge.
