Best year I have ever had fighting this weed. Simple spot spraying has done well. Maybe the hard freeze/snow knocked it down?

I have a fair amount popping up. Hitting it with MSM, but it’s only supposed to control 70%. I’ll keep spot checking it with MSM and then when the weather cools in the fall, hit it with Weed Free Zone which is supposed to kill it.

If you are consistent with pre emerge you should see a decline of it but by no means rid of it. It hasn't yet hit time for it to peak.

I spot spray every week, seems to be effective. But he's right, peak season aint here yet...

It’s a perennial and to my knowledge no pre emergent is labeled for it.

Sounds like you’ve been fighting the good fight for years. Seems like it’s paying off. The key is to start spraying in May every year.

Correct, there is no pre-emergent for it.

My notes say:
MSM and Certainty kills 70%
Celsius needs 2 rounds to kill
Weed Free Zone kills

With all this rain we’re getting, you’d better not declare victory yet.

I’m trying tank mixing Celsius and MSM this year. I have dove weed and VBW to contend with. Celsius has been a bit disappointing to me with the VBW.
