Broomsedge

Control methods for broomsedge include:

  • Proper fertilization to determine necessary amendments for healthy turf grass.
  • Manual removal.
  • Correcting nutrient deficiencies in pastures.
  • Proper grazing practices.
  • Patience, as it may take several years for broomsedge to disappear.
  • No selective herbicides are effective for controlling broomsedge.
  • Avoid over-grazing to prevent bare patches for broomsedge seeds to germinate.
  • Clip broomsedge to promote cool-season grass growth.
