Weeds Not Going Away?

In preparation for fall seeding, have you sprayed your lawn for weeds, but they're still there?

The problem could be with the type of herbicide you are using. If you are using a broadleaf herbicide such as Triplet or 4 Speed XT and your weeds are still there, chances are broadleaves are not your target.

Especially with the weather in the Mid-Atlantic this year, tougher weeds such as crabgrass, goosegrass and nutsedge are major problems in lawns.

These weeds require different herbicides to control them.

If you need to control crabgrass or goosegrass in your lawn, you'll need a herbicide labelled for grassy weeds - such as Quinclorac 75 DF.


For nutsedge control - you would need a herbicide specifically designed to eradicate nutsedge - such as Pro Sedge.

Knowing the types of weeds you are trying to control in your lawn is important and can save you time and money when it comes to controlling them.
