Abstract/Contents: | Discusses several methods to control broadleaf weeds. Defines the most effective approach as growing a lawn that is thick enough to provide competition for the weeds causing highly shaded turf eventually leading to death of the weeds. Suggests another method in which pulling of the weeds by hand work and describes the proper way to do so. Suggests using herbicides as a final method to rid turf of broadleaf weeds. Lists scientific names of some broadleaf weeds in order to properly identify the correct herbicide for usage. Suggests "the best time to control broadleaf weeds is midfall using postemergent herbicide" and "the second best time is early to midspring using preemergent and postemergent herbicides." Briefly presents new weed control methods that are being attempted and the pros and cons of each method. |
