| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the crab grass problem turf managers in Western Australia have recently been faced with. Explains that "crab grass is a summer-growing annual grass weed. It has adapted itself to the uncertainties of summer rainfall by developing a staggred germination pattern." Describes the evolutions and ecological adaptions crab grass has gone through. Suggests that turf managers of playing fields mantain a srongly growing turf over to keep the incidence of crab grass at low levels. Presents a control strategy for crab grass, stating that "on couch playing fields, the herbicides MSMA and DSMA can be used to control crab grass. But on kikuyu plyaing fields, these herbicides can't be used because of their severe phytotoxic effects." Presents another control strategy for crab grass, explaining that "where crab gass has been a problem in the past, it can be controlled with one of three pre-emergent herbicides." Presents tips for controlling heaving crab grass germinations brought on by renovation. Presents tips for controlling crab gras in summer renovation, including "don't apply any of the pre-emergent herbicides to areas that are to be renovated." Also introduces Prograss, "a new turf registered herbicide for post and pre-emergent control of some grasses and broad leaf weeds," and dicusses the uses and benefits of prograss. |
