Abstract/Contents: | Goosegrass is a clump weed grass that seeds prolifically and can easily infest a golf course without the use of proper management techniques. While growing poorly in a dense healthy stand of turfgrass, goosegrass can easily invade a poor stand of bermudagrass or an area with a compactive soil. Both cultural and chemical techniques may be used to control goosegrass. Cultural controls include proper mowing techniques and the hand-packing of goosegrass plants (as a green). Chemical controls include both pre- and postemergence herbicides. Crawfoot is easily distinguished from goosegrass in that the clustered of racemes comes from the central apex of the stem. Crawfoot may be controlled the same as goosegrass. |
