    Weed - Plantain

    Broadleaf plantain is a common broadleaf weed in lawns. It is identified by oval leaf blades 2 – 6 inches long with 5 to 7 ribs that that parallel the leaf margins. In turf grass they form dense clumps
    No single procedure has been successful in controlling plantain in turf grass. Early removal of new seedlings has been successful when practiced diligently.
    Digging out perennial plantain plants must be done regularly for several years to be successful. Repeated applications to perennial plants with products containing 2,4-D or triclopyr can be helpful. Once these weeds are killed in open sites, these areas should be over-seeded to establish a vigorous turf grass sod.
    Pre-emergent turf grass herbicides commonly used for crabgrass control have not been successful in limiting germination of plantain. Isoxaben, a relatively new broadleaf pre-emergent herbicide, has been effective in limiting germination of plantain in turf grass.
    Post-emergent broadleaf herbicides (2,4-D, triclopyr, MCPA, and mecoprop) can control plantain seedlings, but control of established plantain plants with post-emergent treatment is much more difficult.
    For established plants, 2,4-D works best while triclopyr, MCPA, and mecoprop will only reduce its vigor. Best control is achieved from a fall application. Repeat applications are needed to kill weakened perennial weeds and new germinating seedlings.
    See also removal instructions for dandelions as the removal of the two are similar.
    Establishing and maintaining a healthy and beautiful lawn can be a daunting task, but if you are committed to making your home look good, it is essential that you pay attention to the quality of your lawn.
    Certain types of grasses – the most commonly used, in fact – are prone to patch diseases that can devastate the most carefully groomed lawn.
