Wednesday June14 1978 6 Plant to control lawn weeds Department of Horticultural Science To gardeners public enemy number one would be a suitable title for all lawn weeks From spring till fall most lawns become battle fields as gardeners try to and outmanoeuvre their weed problems By planning strategies ahead of time most lawn weeds can be kept well under control The Ant thing to do is to create an environment which encourages growth of turf grasses A dense cover of the desired kind of turf grass will go a long way la preventing establishment of young weeds This objective can only be attained by following a good lawn maintenance program This program should include the selection of an adapted grass mowing at a height of to inches watering when necessary trimming trees if there is too much shade and improve ment of drainage in wet areas There are many books and provincial government pamphlets which provide information about these requirements The two most important factors in establishing a good turf are first the use of the right to provide the nutrients required for growth and secondly mowing at a setting which leaves enough leaf surface so turf grass can develop a good root system The herbicide 2 most often by gardeners to control weeds In lawns Dandelions plantain and several common lawn weeks can be killed by using a spray application of one ounce of 2 D acid in four gallons of water on appro square feet of lawn The quantity of acid in the products sold varies too much to use any other way of expressing the rale Most labels will give the amount of product to use to apply the rate given above Herbicides such as and Mated compounds kill weeds by disturbing the growth pattern of susceptible weeks The best time to spray therefore Is the early part of the season late May and June and again in Sep tember when the weeds are growing rapidly In established lawns the fall application is most sue When weeds are killed in September very few weed seeds will germinate in the lawn that fall The lawn grasses however will resume growth and tend to fill In the space formerly by the weeds Several companies have products on the market which are mixtures of with mecoprop or lorprop Some are threeway mixtures These will control duckweed clover and many hard tokill lawn weeds Crabgrass can be con trolled to some extent by controlling mowing height as seedlings will not survive if shaded by the taller grass and by watering lawns thoroughly through July and August to encourage the growth of lawn grasses Herbicides which can M used for crabgrass control must be applied early in the growing season before the weed seeds start to germinate Saxe 8772219 or 4531111 TORONTO LINE Need Help Wo then hem II it Rem one apartment and live In oilier to make It on Thti
