Goosegrass breakout

Post by jcb3030 » April 28th, 2020, 9:15 pm

This is all over my back yard. Never been this big a problem before.

How do I control it in fescue?

I have Tenacity, will that work?

Everyone would have to check the label for Goosegrass on the "weeds controlled" part of the label. Did you do that?

The Tenacity label says it may control Goosegrass.

"Best postemergence control of goosegrass is obtained when applied to plants with fewer than 4 tillers."

But I was curious if anyone had experience with Tenacity and Goosegrass? Or is something else more effective and recommended?

Did you already read all search hits here for Tenacity+goosegrass? My initial review of such hits shows promise.

Dunno what that is but I would definitely hit it with something.
