A. If the strawberry planting is being overrun with perennial grasses, such as quackgrass or bromegrass, control is not practical. Your best option would be to prepare a new site for a strawberry bed this summer or fall and plant a new bed next spring. It may be possible to control annual grasses, such as crabgrass and foxtail, by hand pulling and hoeing. The pre-emergent herbicide Preen (trifluralin) is not labeled for use on strawberries.
