It is essential that turf be properly maintained in order to minimize weed invasion. If weeds become established, several methods of control are available. Mowing- If proper mowing height and frequency are maintained, many annual weeds will be eliminated. Mowing prior to weed seedhead formation will also reduce weed seed reserves. Some weeds, however, will readily establish below the optimum mowing height for the turfgrass. Control of these weeds will require additional control methods. Hand Pulling- If only a few weeds are present, it is easier and less time-consuming to physically remove the plant. If weeds are a major problem, however, other alternatives should be considered. Mulch- Smothering with a mulch of nonliving material to exclude light is effective in certain areas, such as flowerbeds, footpaths, or nurseries, where turf is not grown. Materials used in such a manner include straw, sawdust, hay, wood chips, and plastic film. Care must be taken to prevent mowing accidents due to movement of these materials into a maintained turf area. To be effective, a minimum of 2 inches is required when using natural mulch materials. Synthetic mats impregnated with herbicides are an alternative available for use in the landscape. These provide long-term weed control when properly used, but care must be taken to keep desirable plant roots from encountering these layers. Herbicides- An herbicide is any chemical that injures or kills a plant. Herbicides are safe and effective if product label instructions are followed. For best results, herbicides should be applied at the proper time, at the labeled rate, using the appropriate application method. Timing of postemergence herbicide application during the plant's growth cycle is important. For example, weeds not treated before seedhead formation are harder to control and are able to deposit new seeds for future problems. Herbicides are classified based on how and when they control weeds. ...read more

Weeds can simply be defined as unwanted plants or plants growing out of place. The proper identification of weeds and some understanding of how and why weeds are present in a lawn are important in selecting the best control strategy. Knowledge of whether or not weeds were previously present in a particular area will also help the homeowner prepare for control procedures in the future. Weed control should be a carefully planned and coordinated program instead of a hit-or-miss operation. The first and best method of weed control begins with proper management practices that encourage a dense, thriving turf. Healthy turf shades the soil so sunlight can't reach weed seeds that are ready to germinate. A thick turf also minimizes the physical space available for weeds to become established. There are several management practices that will promote a healthy, dense grass. Proper fertilization, watering, mowing, and control of other pests are required to produce a dense turf that will prevent weed infestation. If turf is over- or underwatered, over- or underfertilized, or mowed too low or too infrequently, the turf will be weakened and unable to compete with weeds. The use of mowers with unsharpened blades results in damaged areas and increases the time needed for turf recovery, allowing for weed invasion. It is very important to understand that weeds don't create a void, they fill a void. Turf damaged by foot or vehicle traffic invites weeds. Turf growing in areas compacted by excess traffic, especially when the soil is water-saturated, cannot extract oxygen as well as turf under noncompacted conditions. Goosegrass, annual bluegrass, and certain sedges are weeds that grow well in compacted and/or continuously wet soil. The first step to managing weeds in such a situation is to alleviate soil compaction and/or the saturated condition. Turf damaged by pests such as insects or diseases does not always recuperate quickly enough to out-compete germinating weeds. For example, tunneling from mole crickets disrupts the soil surface, enabling weeds to germinate and become established. Other insects and diseases can severely damage turf, resulting in bare areas. These open areas are usually slow to recover, thus enabling weeds to become established. High nematode populations also thin the turf and make it less able to recuperate from environmental stresses. Weeds that often become established in nematode-infested soil include spotted spurge and Florida pusley. It is extremely important to prevent the introduction of weeds into lawn areas. If one can prevent weed establishment, there will be no need for control practices. Areas adjacent to fine turf that are hard to mow, such as fencerows or ditch banks, often serve as a source of weed seed that infests the nearby turf. These areas should definitely receive weed management attention as well. ...read more
