Dallisgrass is a coarse textured warm season perennial bunchgrass. It is grown as a forage grass in the southern U.S. but it is an objectionable grassy weed in the Mid- Atlantic region. Dormant during the fall and winter, dallisgrass initiates new growth in the late spring. Its wide blades are often very hairy, which make it easy to identify. Persistent hand weeding will help manage low populations of dallisgrass as well as heavy fall and winter fertilizations. Methanearsonate herbicides (MSMA or DSMA) may be applied in early summer to selectively manage this weed. However, two or three applications will be necessary every 7- 1 0 days. Unlike Crabgrass pre-emergents provide little or no control against this weed. GrowinGreen is currently working with NC State University and the North Carolina Turfgrass council to find a viable solution for this problem. <BACK TO COMMON TURF PROBLEMS> At GrowinGreen, we are dedicated to your satisfaction, and we specialize in developing and implementing a TEAM APROACH to successful lawn results; working WITH YOU to create and maintain the lawn of your dreams! |
