This past week we made a herbicide application targeting Crabgrass and Goosegrass. The area we primarily focused on was along cart path edges. The additional traffic these areas receive compacts the soil and thins the stand of desirable turf, allowing weed encroachment.
The product we used is effective at extremely low rates--we applied it at 0.75 ounce per acre. It causes chlorophyll loss in weeds, resulting in them turning white.
Aesthetically, the weeds may actually be more noticeable now than prior to treating them--just thinking of this as them raising the white flag.
