Farm Questions
QUESTION: What is centipede
grass?
ANSWER: It's a low creep lawn
grass that does well on almost
any kind of soil. Its scientific
name is Eremochloa ophiuroides.
It will grow well in the sun and
does reasonably well in the shade.
Its main claim is that it remains
close to the ground and requires
little mowing. The worst objec
tion to it is that it browns over
at the first frost of winter and
remains so until spring growth
starts. Seed of centipede grass are
now becoming available. If you
can get them seed them in April.
However, the usual practice is to
start centipede grass from roots
planted in April and May.
QUESTION: How can I keep
crabgrass and cockleburs out of
my corn?
ANSWER: With 2,4-D you can
control crabyrass, cockleburs,
morning glory pigweed, lambs
quarter and ragweed. Use pre
emergence spray, spraying sur
face of soil five to seven days af
ter planting or just before corn
emerges. Use IVi pounds of 2,4-D
per acre on sandy soils, 1
pounds on clay soils and two
pounds on muck soils. Do not
cultivate or disturb the soil until
the corn is 14 inches tall or until
weeds appear. Plant corn at least
one inch deep. Avoid pre-emer-gence
applications on extremely
sandy soils. Injury to stand may
occur if heavy rains follow the
application before the corn comes
up. Poor weed control is likely
under dry conditions.
