Re: Japanese Stiltgrass: Keep Your Eyes Open
Not necessarily. Stiltgrass germinates so late that early applications are running out of steam by that time. You need to make really sure that Pre-M is still effective around Memorial Day. See the first post in this thread for more info.

Re: Japanese Stiltgrass: Keep Your Eyes Open
Andy,
So do you recommend prodiamine as a good pre M for stiltgrass? Or is there another pre M you would recommend for it? I used pendulum 2g in early spring but as you indicated if you don’t put a strong enough app down it will emerge all summer long which it’s doing in my yard again in small patches.

Prodiamine seems to work well, and is the only thing I have tested, so I can't tell you if others are better or worse.

Thanks Andy. I think I’m going to use prodiamine twice a year to help keep it down. Pendulum is too expensive for me to keep purchasing ($90 for a 40lb bag)

Andy,
Do you know if Blindside works to control Japanese Stiltgrass?
It is listed on the label as one of the weeds it controls.

Sorry, I don't really know Blindside nor the use of it for Japanese Stilygrass.

Sprayed glyphosate on the young Japanese stiltgrass appearing in the woods near the house.

Re: Japanese Stiltgrass: Keep Your Eyes Open
I've spent the last few years hitting the surrounding wooded areas with glyposate on any JS. I also use prodiamine on the lawn in the spring and fall. I really didn't see much last year and this year none has emerged. So far so good and fingers crossed!

Re: Japanese Stiltgrass: Keep Your Eyes Open
Just thought I'd bump this post again. I generally spray stiltweed with Acclaim when I see it and sweep the wooded areas around the yard for it too, so I was surprised to see it in the main areas of my yard over the last few weeks. I hit it at two week intervals and see to have beaten it back.
