Prostrate knotweed in grass? |
2,4-D by itself will provide only fair control of prostrate knotweed, but when combined with triclopyr (Turflon Ester Ultra or Triclopyr 4) or dicamba (Banvel, Vanquish), it should provide excellent control in cool-season turf. There are many combination products that contain 2,4-D and dicamba, including Trimec 992 and SpeedZone. Combination products that contain 2,4-D and triclopyr include 4-Speed XT, Chaser, Chaser 2 Amine, Momentum FX2, Turflon II amine, and TZONE.Most of these are professional products that aren't typically sold in stores and are often sold in bulk.
The Ortho Weed B Gon Max label lists the weed and (I think) shows 2,4-D and dicamba as active ingredients, so I may give this a try since it should be easier to get a hold of and not in mass quantity. It appears that Bayer Advanced All-In-One Lawn Weed & Crabgrass Killer and Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns plus Crabgrass Killer also have similar labels.
Last year I sprayed it with Ortho Weed B Gon and they eventually yellowed (making them stand out even more) and died off. It took some time, though.
First step will be to confirm that this is in fact the weed in our lawn. Will report back.
