A farmer plowed one of my areas but then did not plant it. Before it had tall natural grass growing, but now the area is a mess with lots of teasel and queen anns lace. There is some form of grass growing there too, but in the minority. The field has been mowed the last 2 years with a woods mower, but has not eradicated the teasel at all;in fact its spreading.
Crossbow is a non-selective post-emergent herbicide that can kill anything that is sprayed directly including desired turf grasses. We recommend that you treat the teasel by applying a product that will offer post-emergent control but not harm the lawn. We have AmTide MSM 60 DF which is safe for listed turfs and will eradicate the teasel. Please follow instructions on the product label for your application.
