Controling winter grassy weeds


In North Texas dealing with grasses growing in turf is a real challenge. There are many products available to the Certified Applicator to choose from. Personally I've been using an old stand by Atrazine. Used correctly nothing works better. Just remember to put the jug away when the Bermuda starts needing cut.
 Another great tool I rely on is Reward. It controls a lot of annual weeds and gives a quick burn down on all the others. When you want some t urf clean in a hurry nothing works better.
 Last but not least Glyphosate.At two quarts per acre it can be applied to dormant Bermuda. That rate will not control Dallis grass but just about everything else.
