How do I control sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum) in turfgrass in Chesterfield County Virginia?
Website Resources: http://www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_id/aoxod.htm Recommendation: This grass can act as a winter annual or perennial and flowers prolifically in the spring. Lawn herbicides that contain MSMA, DSMA, fenoxaprop, fluazifop, sethoxydim, and quinclorac will control this weed without harming the turfgrass species that are listed on the respective herbicide labels. Repeat treatment may be needed at 10 day intervals for MSMA and DSMA and 3 week intervals for other products. Always read and follow instructions on the herbicide label.
