Large crabgass

Control measures:

  1. Year-round cultural practices: Maintain a dense lawn by mowing high, watering deeply, fertilizing, and overseeding.
  2. Pre-emergent timing: Apply herbicides in early spring before germination.
  3. Remove underground structures: Manually remove them to prevent re-sprouting.
  4. Shallow tillage or hoeing: Control young plants in planting beds.
  5. Grow a healthy lawn: Prevent crabgrass from coming back.
