How do I control hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) in a home lawn in Warren County Virginia?
Date of Correspondence: April 30, 2004 Website Resources: http://cardamine.hirsuta.turfweeds.net Recommendation: Hairy bittercress is a winter annual that will die soon as the weather turns warm and turfgrass is mown regularly. The weed is very mature at this time of year so repeat treatments of weed-b-gone at the highest recommended rate would be needed for complete control. Promote healthy turfgrass with aeration, fall fertilization of fescues and bluegrass, or summer fertilization of bermudagrass.
