How do I get rid of Quackgrass in my lawn?
Quackgrass is a perennial weed that propagates by long roots called tillers. It has a long, tapered, blue green blade that wraps around the stem of the plant in a claw like formation. A persistent weed, it is virtually impossible to pull quackgrass out by hand. A selective herbicide such as Lawn WeedOut® will not control quackgrass. The only solution to controlling quackgrass is to apply a non-selective herbicide like Total WipeOut® to the lawn; this will kill both the lawn and the quackgrass. After this step, re-seed the lawn with premium lawn seed such as C-I-L® Golfgreen™. C-I-L® Golfgreen™ Lawn Starter fertilizer will help to quickly reestablish a healthy lawn. Quackgrass is a persistent weed that requires drastic measures to control. A second application of Total WipeOut® may be required for severe infestations of quackgrass.
