How to control Dallisgrass in DFW Texas with Manuscript and Tribute Total

Thanks for sharing this video.

Dallisgrass has no selective control. Johnson grass can be controlled with frequent mowing or a product called certainty at 1.25 oz per acre. Best wishes

Is Dallisgrass and Johnson Grass the same thing? I live in Tarrant County and my neighbor has very little grass but a whole lot of what I've always heard called Johnson Grass.

So which worked better, Manuscript or Tribute total? I'm not in Texas, I want to treat my lawn in Tennessee. Lots of Dallisgrass. Thanks

The tribute worked about 50% of the time

Bluestem is the worst. I have neighbors that just let it go to seed every year and it blows into my yard. It’s infested the whole neighborhood. When do you apply pre-emergent to cut down on KRB germination?

I let the KRB get out of hand on my newly sodded lawn after we built in 2017. I finally hit all of it with Roundup last spring and by the end of the season all of it was filled in with Bermuda. This year I pulled what little that came back and you can`t even tell there was any dead spots last year. Good preemergent program and staying on top of it when you see it coming up is the key.

@@tpack670 Its bad along the street where the seeds blow down the road from my neighbors. Does the KRB germinate in the spring or fall, or year round? I was wondering when to use the pre emergent to avoid more. Im in Waco, TX.

[@tpack670]

I think it will germinate at any time. I apply Barricade in the fall and spring both. There is no selective herbicide for KRB either. I live in the country and lots of KRB around me. Bagging the grass when you have seed heads will help. Mowing before the KRB goes to seed will help also. Spray with Roundup and fertilize and water the effected spots after the KRB is dead, otherwise the problem will continue to get worse. I am 100% KRB free in my lawn after using this approach. Wish I would have done it sooner.[@@Cards-In-The-Closet

Pre emergent will prevent seeds from germinating of applied before they germinate

[@Cards-In-The-Closet]

@@UglyWeedsTexas what time of year do they germinate?
