Ortho Weed B Gone Plus Crabgrass Control
This is the new fomulation of WBG which contains Quinclorac to kill
crabgrass, as well as the usual 24D, etc. I don't have any crabgrass yet to try it on, but it works quite well on broadleaf weeds. In fact, it convincingly kills clover, which nothing else ever really has. Of course, you have to use 2.5 times as much in the recommended application rate, but even so, if it works it's worth it. I have bermuda in Oklahoma, and it appeared to kill all the weeds except poa annua (annual ryegrass). And as I said, it's still too early for crabgrass. YMMV of course. |

Only stuff I know of to kill crabgrass is pre-emergent, applied early spring. We have a southern lawn, used WBG for southern lawns. Used according to label instructions, it did a great job. We had neighbors who wondered what we had used to get rid of dollar weed; even their lawn care guy was surprised. Part of the issue is "apply when weeds are actively growing", so we used WBG a couple of weeks after fertilizing and never when the lawn was stressed/dry. If a product is good, "more is better" is not the rule. Using stuff according to instructions is very often the answer. |

It works for crabgrass I can guarntee, this is the first year I wont have that dam stuff because of WBG with the new additive, I did 2 aplications and it killed it, ive always missed the pre emergent timeline and havnt wanted to use Scotts because I dont want one location fertilised, fertilise and you have to cut grass more. |

Will it kill bahia without killing the bermuda? |
