Tropical Signalgrass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the exceptionally warm months coming to an end here a Jupiter CC, we have continued our aggressive attack on Tropical Signalgrass.  Tropical Signalgrass is a very aggressive weed that if not controlled can overtake large areas of turf very quickly. Below is a close-up of a healthy area of signalgrass in a fairway.





Due to signalgrass' aggressive nature, the products we use tend to tinge, or "burn," the surrounding bermudagrass for a short time.  Above is a picture of a sprayed patch of signalgrass after approximately 3 days.  As you can see the patch has completely browned out, as well as the surrounding turf.




After a little over a week you can see that the surrounding bermudagrass has re-strengthened and is growing back into the area that was once populated by signalgrass.
