Autumn is the Right Time for Broadleaf Weed Control

Cool-season broadleaf weeds, including winter annuals and perennials, wait until temperatures cool down and then emerge during autumn.  The photo above was taken in Olathe in late October.  Targeting broadleaf weeds during autumn, when temperatures are suitable for application, results in good broadleaf weed control.  Immature weed seedlings are more susceptible to herbicides than mature weeds.  Find more information regarding weed control in this valuable resource. The updated “Turfgrass Weed Control Guide for Professionals – 2021” provides weed identification and control information that turfgrass professionals can use to develop effective weed control programs for golf courses, athletic fields, sod farms, lawns, and other turfgrass systems. The recommendations apply to the majority of the United States, with input from experts in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
