In addition to the large patches of dead grass, clover has become an other problem. The clover is crowd ing out healthy ccntipedc in increas ingly larger patches. Is there something available which will destroy the clover with out damaging the intertwined ccn tipedc? Or must I simply dig every thing up, clover and ccntipedc alike, and start over? Answer: Centipede grass is a acid soil loving, warm season, perennial grass. Clover ( Trifolium spp.) is a cool season perennial legume that prefers alkaline soil. In general, grasses arc more competitive for soil nutrients and water than broadlcaved plants like clover. Years ago I visited a pasture on a large cattle farm in Alabama that had developed a unique "weed" pro blem. Centipede grass had become the "weed" problem in this pasture bccausc of overgrazing and poor soil fertility. A large portion of the pasture contained a beautiful stand of cen tipede grass. I attributed this stand of centipede grass to close mowing (by cattle overgrazing) and infertile THE PLANT DOCTOR C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist sandy acidic soils. These cultural and environmental conditions favor the development of centipede grass over that of the desired forage grass es and clover. An application of dolomitic lime stone and the rcsccding of clover quickly restored the pasture for use ful grazing. The centipede grass soon disappeared without the use of hcrbicidcs. High clover populations in a ccn tipede grass lawn may indicate an alkaline soil pH (clovers prefer a soil pH of 6 or higher) and a higher than desirable mowing height. In any case, clover can easily be removed from centipede grass by mowing to 1 inch to 1.5 inches and adjusting the soil to a pH of 5.5. Close mowing and an acid soil cou pled with hot weather and sandy soils is a sure way to remove clover from your lawn. Hcrbicidcs can also be used to re move clover from your centipede grass. Clover is very sensitive to an hcrbicidc called mecoprop (MCPP). Centipede grass can be treated with a commercial formulation of this hcrbicidc, such as Ortho Chickweed and Clover Control or Ortho Wccd B-Gon for Southern Lawns, contain ing mecoprop and the clover will be killed. Be sure to follow all label instruc tions because ccntipcdc grass is also sensitive to these hcrbicidcs. A third alternative is to leave the clover alone. A litUe clover in the lawn can produce quite a pleasing effect while at the same time provid ing numerous beneficial effects to the soil. Dear Plant Doctor: I have crab grass, sandbur and some other weedy grasses in my bcrmuda grass lawn. What can 1 do to get rid of these weedy grasses? Answer: Crab grass may be killed in bcrmuda grass lawns with the application of ccrtain hcrbicidcs. In bcrmuda grass, the arsenates will selectively kill the crab grass, sandbur and many other weedy grasses and nol permanently damage the bermuda grass. Several commer cial products available to the home gardener are Ortho Crabgrass Killer Formula II and Ace Crab Grass Kil ler. Optimum control is usually ob tained if the product is sprayed twice with the second application occur ring seven days to 10 days following the first. Young crab grass is more sensitive to the chemical than older mature crab grass. Be sure to follow all label instruc tions and precautions. Do not use these products on centipede grass, St. Augustine grass or carpet grass because these lawn grasses arc easi ly killed by these herbicides. A properly mowed and fertilized bermuda grass lawn should not have an excessive crab grass problem. 1 am sending you a copy of Carolina Lawns , Publication AG-69, which will detail proper care and mainte nance of a bermuda grass lawn.
