Weed Control and Identification of Crabgrass, Dallisgrass, Bahiagrass and Carpetgrass

[@btrook1981]

I am loving the weed ID videos, very helpful... please do more of these!!!

[@fishintexan69]

This is by far the best grass ID video I’ve found. 👍

[@rbljackson]

great stuff Jason...TY. Ive had the hardest time getting rid of two weeds...>Dallis and oxalis. Ive sprayed both thinking they are dead, roasted them, and two months later they are back like I never did anything to them. These are yards treated with pre em too, so they aren't coming back from seed....I guess they are just TOUGH, or as you put it...the NEMESIS!!

[@bobathanasidy2741]

One of the best weed grass videos I’ve seen. Thank you.

[@lawncarelife]

Thank you

[@jcreel90]

Very useful. Thank you Jason Creel. Also it made my day to meet another fellow Jason Creel out there.

[@lawncarelife]

I have to admit, seeing your name pop up confused me a little. I was wondering if I left a comment on my own channel

[@Michelle_9_27]

Thanks Jason! Great info. There’s some type of low growing weed that looks like a type of grass in clumps that lays on top of dirt and pops up after spraying round up. It does it every time. So the roundup kills the weeds and/ or grass and not long after that starts growing. It doesn’t absorb water either. Meaning it’s always moist in the area. Just thought you may have an idea of what that could be.

Hey Jason, thanks for the video brother. I like your view on Dallis grass, you got to know when you can't really help and be honest with the customer.

[@traeannahbrown5699]

Great I have carpetgrass & crabgrass(I was almost sure it couldn't be, but the seed head confirmed) taking over my centipede lawn (identified with your help!). Thank you for these videos helping us identify these weeds/grasses

[@lawncarelife]

Glad to help

[@moonmullins7436]

Live in south central Gaaawgia, fighting crabgrass, dallas grass and goose grass in bermuda, centipede and saint august. So far I found some chemicals that browns up and stops some of the weedy grasses but Ive fell back on to using a damned kitchen knife an just cutting it out. Thanks again for posting this vid on the different type of these junk grasses.

[@agedhippie2618]

Very informative video! If I didn't have weeds I wouldnt have a lawn lol.

[@trey8543]

I’m having some luck frying Dallisgrass with a Pastora and Image all-in-one mix. Makes a 4 way mix of Metsulfuron, Nicosulfuron, Sulfentrazone, and quinclorac. I’m mixing both at the high rate in a spot sprayer. I did my first test with this mix 3 weeks ago, 3 days after mowing and there is no new growth and approx 50% yellowing of the leaves. Untreated spots are thriving and have grown 3-5” tall in the same time period. The Bermuda around the spot treatments yellowed for the first two weeks but seems to be greening back up. Time will tell the final result…Pastora is not labeled for residential lawns but is readily available at any farm store. I’m Thinking one more spot treatment may wipe it out completely, and the best part is both products cost about 1/4 the price of Tribute Total

[@elivasquez1514]

Any follow up on this? Did the dallisgrass stay dead?

[@bcbc8424]

Well thanks! Now I am the proud owner of a yard FULL of crabgrass instead of just a few bad spots.... Lol I figured this was the case but you are right it can be super hard to tell when if takes over an area!

[@bucketmouthinc82]

I swear Bahai and crabgrass is of the devil I swear! You have helped me to come up with a game plan to rid my yard of these spawns from hell. I gotta cut my property 2-3x more than I would if I didn’t have these grasses. The stupid seed heads pop up with hours of mowing seems like. Aggregating as hell. Liked and subscribed my man.

[@lawncarelife]

Thank you

[@omaralonso7425]

Amigo thanks for you video, lots of information I have one question the pre emergent will prevent dallisgrass seeds from germination, or not 🤔

[@commit2bhealthy841]

He says pre emergent will not prevent dallisgrass. I have that pesky weed too.

[@erlindamendez8633]

Wow thank you 🙏 for education now I can identify these weeds !!!

[@hughbo52]

Nice work. Good reference and will go into my "Likes". One thing that drives me nuts is trying to figure out "spray rate". Aaaaagh! Like fertilizer- covers 15,000 sq ft, depending on your spreader, how fast.you go.and whether you can watch you overlap. I've yet to see a video that I can follow for wet spray herhicides. I'll keep my eyes out. Thanks for.posting.

[@ChadHam-y4u]

So if you are mixing Celsius and Certainty together, how much of each would you use per gallon and how many square feet would that mix cover?

[@FrankieKennethL]

What’s the one exception you almost mentioned that would kill the Dallisgrass weed but not the centipede ?

[@lawncarelife]

Celsius and certainty mixed together. Multiple apps

[@FrankieKennethL]

Thanks. I’ve learned an incredible amount thanks to your videos. Great content

[@Ricochet622]

When dealing with small amounts like quarter of an ounce per acre, can consider diluting it in half first with distilled water so half an ounce can be used per acre, or diluting it with 3/4 parts of water so one full ounce can be used. Coming from a chemist who deals with high concentration chemicals all the time. Trust me you’ll end up with more accurate concentration in the end this way.

[@louf7178]

I'm not following that at all. I'm under the impression, for example, it's 1/4 oz./gallon/acre - I don't see your dilution method.

[@Ricochet622]

@@louf7178 Hi there! By making a 2-step dilution, it basically gets you closer to the theoretical concentration. I'm going to use the metric system to explain this because it's easier to illustrate this theory. Let's say the stock solution of Tenacity is 10 and the final desirable concentration of Tenacity for the lawn application is 1. To make 1mL of final you will have to use 0.1 mL Tenacity and 0.9mL water for a 1:10 dilution, still with me? However, measuring 0.1mL is really hard and in reality, you were off by -0.005mL. Therefore, you've ended up using 0.095mL instead to make your 1mL. This actually ends up giving you a final concentration of 0.95 instead of 1. An easy way to calculate this will be (Final Concentration) (Final Volume) = (Stock Concentration) (Stock Volume) Since we want to calculate the final concentration from the mess up, we make the final concentration as "x" and plug that into the formula above (x)(1mL) = (10) (0.1-0.005) (x)(1mL) = (10) (0.095) x= 0.95 Now, if we do a 2-step dilution by first making a 1:1 dilution of the stock - say using 10mL of the stock and add 10mL of water to it. Theoretically, your secondary stock would now be 5. But again, in reality we were off by -0.005mL from measuring, so your secondary stock is actually 4.9975. This could be calculated by: (x)(20mL) = (10)(9.995) With the secondary stock, you now proceed to make your final. In a calculation, from a concentration 5 stock, your "NEW" dilution will be to use 0.2mL to make a final 1mL. But again, you were off by -0.005 from measuring and end up using 0.195mL instead. But this way, even with the many mess up from measuring, your final concentration will actually end up being 0.9745125! (x) (1mL) = (4.9975)(0.195) In the end, you see how this 2-step dilution get you closer to the desire concentration of 1? (0.9745125 versus 0.95)

[@louf7178]

@@Ricochet622 Thank you for taking the time to write such an elaborate explanation. To be honest, I'm not really following, but I get the general gist (with 0.05 ml being a rule of thumb). To be specific, 1ml with 9ml would be 1:9 (?); and as you later continued with 10ml, why not start the original with a larger volume? I'm presuming the practice comes from instances where that is not feasible. What I end up doing for high dilution of small solutes (in herbicide solutions) is rinsing the vial (measuring spoon, etc...) with water solvent to get full solute into the solution. It works fine with, say 1 tsp to 1 gallon, but would not work well with, say, 1 tsp to 10 tsp (what I would then do is 1 to 5, and then rinse with the remaining 5 - this might be close to the idea you are presenting). Thanks again.

[@Ricochet622]

@@louf7178 The rinsing technique is definitely a good practice! And yes, you can definitely start the original with a larger volume, the only caveat to this is your final volume will end up being higher. Sometimes that's not desirable because of storage space/chemical interactions/expiration etc... By the way, 1mL to 9mL is NOT 1:9. An easier way to think about this is if you make half-fold dilutions (or 1:2). You would mix 1mL stock with 1mL water, and not 1mL of stock with 2 mL of water. You're also probably thinking - well half-fold dilution should be 1:1 and not 1:2(?), this is an oxymoron and commonly misinterpreted. 1:1 usually means mixing equal parts of 2 things (chemicals) together, this is different math from making serial dilutions. Hope that helps! :)

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Jason, Bayer advance has a season long weed control. It says it won't harm lawn's. The grasses you just showed, (weeds) will it kill them,? Am I better off using that in November - February? I Use a granular (6 bags,) 15000 sq. Feet at one time in April, weed and feed, then lower the application down to 4 bags, in the fall, putting out less, which confuses me what number to set the dial on the spreader. I have zoysia grass and the grass that turns brown in the winter. I have tree's and also full sun so I can't just use 1 type of grass. I'am trying to weed out & get my yard to the 2 types of grasses. Found a grass that has red/pink roots yesterday. I'm going to fire Foxie Dog if she doesn't help me! Lol Thanks, Jason. I'm taking your sample weeds out side to find them ,then mark the area and then look for a ganular product. Hope I will only find 1, I hope.

[@onecrazywheel]

I just saw another good video that a person can use baking soda and sprinkle it t on crab grass and it will kill the crab grass and not the St Augustine. I live in Central Florida where we have St Augustine snd Bahia. It is all mixed in. Is there a way to kill the wild Bermuda grass? What could I use to kill the Bermuda? Thanks 👍

Quinclorac and tzone hasn't done anything after 2 applications on crabgrass. Haven't tried tenacity yet because I have bermuda and can't be applied till bermuda is dormant

What is the grass that’s growing with the crabgrass in the beginning of the video Jason? The one that has the shoots that spread out so fast? I can’t get rid of it! Thanks man.

[@B_HarTz]

I agree, this is why I’m here and I can’t figure it out…. There was literally “another type of weed” in the same shot of the crab grass right next to it! It’s not carpet weed and I can’t figure the stupid weed name … So I’m just giving this video a thumbs down and yanking some of my weed that he didn’t even show when he had it in his video, and taking it to my local nursery so they can tell me

[@jimjam1719]

question- what kind of grass grows best under a live oak tree? i noticed that if you have live oaks you normally don't have grass growing under them.

[@jeanfred9462]

That’s because it’s shade related, I’ve heard acorns contain arsenic.. so if you don’t keep them up off the dirt it will cause issues

[@TheDallasSkeptic]

So if I have St. Augustine grass and a problem with Dallisgrass, is my only option to kill it with Glyphosate and then re-sod where my grass dies?

mixing cel and certainty may suppress dallis, but it won't kill it.

So for a yard infested with Dallisgrass - is ripping up a lawn and putting new sod down an option? Or will Dallisgrass come up through the fresh sod?

Hey Jason, thanks for the great videos. I have a question about types of grass/weeds. I haven't cut my lawn in over a week because I wanted to let the bahia grass grow long so that I could pinpoint where to spray some MSM Turf formula, and I noticed another type of grass seed growing. It isn't long and high, it looks like a grass and not a weed, and it has one stem of purple seedlings. I've tried to research, and it may be something called Buffalo Grass, which one site called a type of St Augustine grass. Is this correct, and is it okay to let grow in your yard?

[@traceyelledge5688]

Henchman Number_1 I do weed control as well. He is giving the right advice. Dallas grass is tough and expensive to kill. You have to make three to four rounds a week or so apart. That’s a lot of back and forth and if you charge for that the customer isn’t going to be happy. If you don’t charge you have lost money on that round of treatment. I get what your saying but, he is definitely right on this one. Now, if you can tell your customer there is going to be a charge for the extra time it takes on this particular weed and once killed you go back to normal agreed application costs. Then it would be worth it.
