It enjoys the close mowing that defines golf course fairways and roughs, allowing dallisgrass full run of moist, sandy or clay soil fertilized with nitrogen. Growing twice as quickly as regular grass, dallisgrass creates hazards for golfers and other athletes, and headaches for homeowners with lawns. Any bare spot appearing in the grass or lawn is fair game for dallisgrass to call home. Fill in any bald spots or dirt patches as soon as they appear in your lawn with sod or seed to discourage dallisgrass invading the area. The best defense against dallisgrass is a continually well maintained dense, thickly planted lawn or turf. A densely packed lawn allows little room for weeds to take hold and germinate. Dallisgrass control in North Texas can only happen with everyone’s help. Application of Glyphosate in the spring and early summer can be effective when applied directly and confined only to dallisgrass and not to your lawn. Similar in appearance to crabgrass, dallisgrass has stiffer leaves, a hairy base, and tends to grow in ever enlarging circles, choking out lawn grasses such as Bermuda, St. Augustine and other turf …show more content…
Chinch bugs cause rapidly developing damage to most common lawn turf grasses. Chinch bug infestation in St. Augustine lawns is well documented, but it happily feeds on zoysia and Bermuda grass if necessary. Invisible to the naked eye, Bermuda or bermudagrass mites feed under the grass sheath, stripping life giving sap from plants. Although the mite only damages Bermuda grass, its effects on North Texas lawns is pervasive. Both the chinch bug and bermudagrass mites are extremely difficult to eradicate once they take hold of your turf. Prevention remains the most effective treatment available for these pests. Neither pest thrives in a well-watered yard free of thatch. Occasional scalping over your grass can help reduce mite growth, remove and destroy grass clippings away from your lawn may help as well. Preventive dethatching and aeration techniques performed by a professional lawn expert remain your best bet for these invaders. Early intervention along with prevention is the only effective method of ridding your lawn of chinch bugs and mites. Contact Weedex before these bugs appear for the full benefits of preventive lawn and grass care. (-- removed HTML --) Weed Lawn and Grub Control McKinney Tx (-- removed HTML

Wayne uses a twist on martial arts and isolating himself on an island to live like his ancestors. In the Novel Motorcycles and Sweetgrass, John, Maggie, and Wayne all try to maintain their Aboriginal roots while adapting to modern day life.
... States are minimal for people affected with disease by this invasive species, steps should still be taken to avoid an outbreak. They should be controlled to some extent. Because West Nile has taken such a toll on humans and birds, precautions should be taken to avoid being infected with this disease. Controlling the Asian Tiger Mosquito may help minimize the spread of diseases throughout the United States. Because this species of mosquito thrives in more wet condensed spaces like water cans, tipping and tossing all containers that hold water around the house or garden on a daily basis will help remove the larvae and reduce the population. Other common practices that most communities partake in, include cold fogging or spray trucks and effective mosquito traps. These are the best options so far, to help control the Asian Tiger mosquito and other mosquitos as well.
There are a few things to look for when distinguishing between Kentucky, rough, and annual blue grass. The ligules of Kentucky blue grass are very short. Only .2 to .6 mm long and truncate. The ligules of rough blue grass are much longer, 2-6
A theme in W.P. Kinsella’s “The Thrill of the Grass” is change, for better or for worse, affords the opportunity for us to acknowledge our emotions and love of memories and encourages us to stand up for what we truly believe in. Change, sentiment, reminiscence and defiance are portrayed through the protagonist and the plot in this admiringly, well written short story.
Sphenophorus parvulus or commonly known as the bluegrass billbug is part of the weevil family under the order coleoptera. It gets the name billbug because of the long snout and extended thorax. This insect is considered as a turfgrass pest causing destruction primarily to Kentucky bluegrass, but also perennial ryegrass, fine fescues, and tall fescue.
Deer overpopulation leads to an abundance of complications. Deer damage the small gardens and lawns of many homeowners and for those living inside the city limits the only feasible response is spraying chemical deterrents, a painstaking process that decreases in
While corn is a really important part of our economy, it has a number of other problematic effects. Nearly all corn grown in the states is treated with glyphosate, a weed killing chemical introduced by seed giant Monsanto in 1974. Glyphosate contaminates surface water and has been detected at lower levels in ground water, which is what is used for drinking water. There are experiments that show that glyphosate could be responsible for increased mortality rates in tadpoles and other amphibians. And while information on the effects that glyphosate has on the health of human beings is limited, the UN’s International Agency for Research on Cancer declared that glyphosate may raise the risk of cancer in people exposed, as it has been found in farmworkers’ blood and urine, chromosomal damage in cells and more (Grossman). Little information is known on the potential of low levels of exposure to glyphosate over long periods of time, but it is clear that there are risks involved with the heavy use and exposure to the chemical, which is used on a growing number of
Monsanto should do more than manage the potential harm to plant and animal life as a result of using products such as Roundup (Ferrell, Thorne, & Ferrell, 2016). Monsanto must do more than maintain a stance that their product rarely gets in ground water. As part of their quality standard the herbicide manufacture will implement strict guidelines of testing, storing, and shipping their product. Ground samples will be routinely tested to validate contamination has not occurred. As the use of chemicals continues for a long period of time both weeds and bugs my develop immunity to the herbicide creating the need for even stronger herbicides. A herbicide is designed to kill unwanted plants; however the mixture could be so effective that it kills not only the undesired weeds, but also the kills the plants that are not the target. Safety concerns with herbicide will be handled in an
Brassica napus, or its more common name, Canola is the world’s healthiest oil. Canola can provide high protein and can now be used as a biofuel (“What is Canola?”, 2017). With all its uses, you can expect that Canola is within high demand. In North Dakota alone one million acers of Canola are grown (Brumfiel,2010). The only problem holding farmers back from growing Canola freely is that Canola has a problem with weeds and these weeds can be very difficult to kill. Farmers must normally mix herbicide into the soil in the spring to prevent weeds from interfering with the Canola crop (“Why Farmers Choose Herbicide-Tolerant Canola”, 2017). This is a very labor intensive process and can waste time they could spend on

The diagram below shows that grass doesn’t have a steady growth curve throughout the year, there’s a peak in May with surplus grass. The grazing method chosen helps to make the most efficient use of grass at all times of the grazing cycle.
The new chemicals which are produced to kill these strong pests and weeds may be more harmful to other plants and remove nutrients within the soil, in turn reducing the yield of agricultural crops. The benefits of these characteristics are seen in Argentina according to Pelletier (2010) as they use glyphosphate resistant soybean which allowed the comeback of this crop, as the soil was severely damaged from monoculture (The cultivation of a single crop in a defined area).... ... middle of paper ... ...
Pesticide is a chemical used to prevent, wipe out and control the pest problem in agriculture. The use of pesticides have become a common practice around the world, and used almost everywhere, such as agricultural fields, homes, park and school, and so on. Most pesticides are insecticides, herbicides and fungicides that have distinct purposes. Insecticides are used to control insects; herbicides are used to destroy plants; fungicides are used to prevent molds and mildews. Most commonly pesticides contain highly toxic chemical such as Acid copper chromate (ACC), Acephate and Chlorpyrifos, and so on. One of example of insecticides, Chlorpyrifos, sprays widely on a variety of food and golf courses in order to control pests in a cornfield. However, “Chlorpyrifos can cause cholinesterase inhibition in humans; that is, it can over stimulate the nervous system causing nausea, dizziness, confusion, and at very high exposures (e.g., accidents or major spills), respiratory paralysis and death.” (EPA GOV) In the market has thousands of products are similar as Chlorpyrifos.
