What is Krabígrass?

Crabgrass is a type of annual grass that appears in the warm season. It is originally from Europe, although it also colonized a large part of North America, to the horror of many gardeners. Stubborn grass rooting can be difficult to eradicate when it colonizes, and tends to overcome the native species with an aggressive sowing pattern and rapid growth. As a result, most gardeners seek to prevent crab grass in their gardens and take serious steps to happen. The two most common types of problems are digitaria sanguinalis and digitaria ischaemum . Both have highly growing branched stems, although they can also adapt to live near the ground in mats. These mats are expanded and rooted during the season. If it is allowed to flourish, the crab instructions tend to choke the grass that surround it, and creates a depression that is the re -seed of the attacker, allowing the grass to expand even further, especially if there is sufficient water.

You can take a number of steps to eliminate crab grass, although constant vigilance is required. The first is to grow and maintain a healthy lawn that does not allow the rooting of this grass. Home owners should plan to load, fertilization and watering in the beginning of spring before the crabs of the grass appear so that the lawn can start with the lead. The installation should be done densely to form a strong mat grass to prevent other species from being prevented, and water and rarely. Also homeowners should keep the lawn relatively high when mowing, like a lawn, which is about 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) high, will shield the seeds of crab grass and prevent them from germinating.

When individual outbreaks of crab grass appear, gardeners should make sure each of each of the hands and pull out the entire root system. Some gardeners use herbicides to control grass attacks and apply pre -emergence herbicides before they appear or conThey trolnger herbicides when they appear. However, the use of herbicides should only be performed as a last option, as this may have an impact on the rest of the garden, along with pets and children. The Octa application can also help, but homeowners should be ready to kill the entire part of the lawn to which the vinegar is applied, and quickly reheed or sod quickly before it can take root.
