Notes:
This weed is prolific! Sprayed with weed b gon, about 2-3 weeks ago, one plant at a time. Took my time and did a through job. Very slow action, lots of yellow now, but more plants than I initially sprayed are now infiltrating my lawn. Have had them for a few years now, but now they are really out of control. Have to get rid of them once and for all.Help!

Bobby, Been a month now, and the weed seems to be under control for now. No obvious seed pods sticking up above the grass! Thanks for the help, Barry

Barry I have looked at several common preEmergent labels and have not found one that controls hairy bittercress. In the metro Atlanta area between the first of September and the end of April lawn service companies may apply four or five applications of pre and post emergent weed controls. The post emergents are apparently controlling the bittercress here. Check out this NC State link re: hairy bittercress. http://www2.turffiles.ncsu.edu/PDFFiles/004090/Bittercress_Hairy.pdf

Barry the active in Halts is pendimethalin. Cress is not listed on it’s label as being a weed that is controlled.

Bobby, Thank you for the ID and how-to. Will be going after them as soon as it stops raining this Friday. Will let you know the results. BTW, I spread Halts last week, will that stop its seed from germinating too? Best Barry

Pre Emergents are helpful in warm season turfs in controlling or suppressing bittercress. In New York your lawn may be seeded in the fall. Check out this link for other options in controlling hairy bittercress. http://www2.turffiles.ncsu.edu/PDFFiles/004090/Bittercress_Hairy.pdf
