| PIGWEED is a prolific broadleaf weed commonly seen in lawns at this time of year. Another name for this weed is "fire weed", named so because it seems to spread like fire in lawns after spring/summer rain showers. It germinates in the thatch layer, so pre-emergent weed controls are ineffective in controlling pigweed. The good news, however, is pigweed has virtually no root system and can be easily controlled with post emergent weed control and good mowing practices. In fact, lawns that are mowed on a frequent and consistent basis rarely have a significant pigweed population. Pigweed will not persist in lawns once temperatures increase into the 85-95 degree range. | BROWN PATCH is characterized by the development of irregular, circular areas a few inches to several feet in diameter. These areas will usually appear as brown or tan patches with chocolate rings around the outsides. Brown patch can spread rapidly throughout a fescue lawn when humid, warm, moist conditions exist along with afternoon showers. Infrequent mowing and/or mowing with a dull blade all make fescue more susceptible to the fungus. Watering during the day or at any time the grass is not already wet from dew should be avoided. Proper watering and mowing practices will help reduce the risk of brown patch, but fungicide treatments are the only means of effective control if brown patch is present in the lawn. |
