Weed ID in pasture

If it’s bluestem I think dicamba will kill it.

This is about 12 inches give or take. Someone at the Coop mentioned bluestem but the Cooper people did not think so??

Not sure I'm going to spray the hay field with anything else.

Sure it’s not behia grass ? Seed head kinda looks like it. If you had better pics of the roots.....

Try MSMA, that might kill it and won’t hurt bermuda. Also, a weak gly solution won’t kill established bermuda. Bermuda is pretty dang tough.

I looked at it again, it doesn’t appear to be behia.

Yep. A weaker mix of roundup will kill grass burs in established bermuda, and not kill the bermuda.

That is as close as I have seen... I did send pictures to my local ag agent.

Says Roundup should work.

I don't think it's buffelgrass.
Maybe a kind of bristlegrass.

[Brute Killer]

Wintergrass?

That stuff has the "dart" seeds.

Wrong kind of seed head fro King Ranch blue.

Coop mentioned bristlegrass…

I think it really needs a pre emergent in the spring.

I have my doubts that roundup will do anything.

The label I read on Dicamba said a 37 day wait to harvest. Will have to go back when I have more time.

Looks like Setaria glauca or Setaria viridis to me. Both are introduced bristlegrasses. Are they too dense to spot treat with glyphosate?

I sprayed the entire front field and spot spayed the back field.

I looked they are starting to turn yellow at the bottom.

I do not hay a lot of acres so try and get the best quality to sell as horse hay.

Klein grass?

Seeing signs of it and some crab grass starting to turn yellow....

First, it's a bunch grass. It is also an annual which means when it drops those 100 of seeds, you will have a problem.

How much of it do you have? Is it just a few? Can you just pull them up? I have some and that's what I do before the seeds are ready to drop.

You can drip a rag in glyposate and wipe it on the plant for sure to kill it. Make it easy by using a small rag on a stiff wire. Dab here, dab there.

Thanks

A lot so I sprayed. I have the stuff to make a large weed wipe just have not done it.

I was told I needed to do a preemergent next year...

If I get another cut I'll have to spray sooner..
