Got Crabgrass?

Controlling Crabgrass In Your Lawn

Maybe you applied a Pre-emergent in the Spring, maybe you didn't. Maybe you could have used another application, maybe it's the weather's fault. No matter who is to blame, you now have crabgrass in your lawn and you want to control it.

You have basically two options, to control the crabgrass selectively or non-selectively. Controlling the crabgrass with a selective herbicide will allow you to eradicate only the crabgrass from your lawn, without injuring your desired turf. A non-selective control will eradicate the crabgrass as well as your desired turf.

Let's talk selective controls. The following is a list of Selective Herbicides we carry that will control crabgrass:

             - Quinclorac 75DF (Equivalent to Drive 75DF): This is a Dry Flowable powder that you can mix with water to create a spray solution. Use rate is .367 oz per 1000 sq ft.


             - Acclaim Extra: This is a concentrated liquid formulation (shown here in a pint container). Use rate is .08 oz - .90 oz per 1000 sq ft.

              - Quincept: This is a concentrated liquid formulation, a combination of 2,4-D, Dicamba & Quinclorac. This combination will allow you to control crabgrass as well as broadleaf weeds such as dandelion, clover, etc. Use rate is 2.6 oz - 2.9 oz per 1000 sq ft.
