Why control weeds?
• Reduce crop yields and quality• Lower aesthetic appeal and property value• Some are allergens or poisonous• Disrupt native ecosystems• Harbor insects and diseases• Interfere with right-of-way safety and
transmissions
![Page 3: Problem Weeds of Turfgrasses](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/568157bf550346895dc541a6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Weed Management Strategy
• Identify weed, life cycle, habitat
• Institute Control Procedures– Preventive
– Mechanical
– Biological
– Cultural
– Chemical

Virginia buttonweed
![Page 5: Problem Weeds of Turfgrasses](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/568157bf550346895dc541a6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Virginia buttonweed (Diodia virginiana)
• Warm-season perennial broadleaf
• Reproduction– creeping stems
– creeping roots
– above and below ground seed production
![Page 6: Problem Weeds of Turfgrasses](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/568157bf550346895dc541a6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Virginia buttonweed
• Seed germination
- optimum at 85 to 95 F.
- no germination < 70 F.
- optimum depth 1.0 to 1.5 inches
• Shoot emergence
- root fragments 0.25 inch long can
produce shoots from 8 inch soil depth
![Page 7: Problem Weeds of Turfgrasses](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/568157bf550346895dc541a6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Virginia buttonweed - Control
• 2,4-D + 2,4-DP Good• 2,4-D + dicamba Good• 2,4-D+MCPP+dicamba Good• Research at MSU show formulations high in
2,4-D concentration provide better control (ex. Trimec Classic, Escalade)
• Spray regrowth when noted (21 to 35 days)
![Page 8: Problem Weeds of Turfgrasses](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/568157bf550346895dc541a6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Virginia buttonweed - Control
• Ronstar - seed only
• Princep - seed only
• Confront, Manor - fair control (variable)
• Monument, Katana – good control (variable)
• Glyphosate - the last resort!
