Summary

​Generally, several options are available for managing broadleaves in grass crops, but few options are available for removing grass weeds from grass crops. Many species of grasses are problematic, but Italian ryegrass and goosegrass are particularly challenging. Multistate studies have examined the uses of DRA, glyphosate, and dicamba alone​ and in combination. Spraying when weeds are small and otherwise being proactive are key factors in effective management.
