I receive several calls each
week or people will stop by the
office to ask me to identify
weeds growing in their lawns.
This time of year there are sever-
al weeks growing in our lawns
and gardens. For the most part,
everyone is asking questions on
one particular weed - the lawn
burweed.
Cool season broadleaf are a
major problem throughout Texas
where mild temperatures stimu-
late luxuriant growth during win-
ter and spring. These weeds
including dandelion, chickweed,
henbit, burweed and clover are
particularly troublesome in early
spring when warm season turf-
grasses are dormant. Not only
are these weeds unsightly, but
they increase mowing require-
ments and delay the recovery of
desirable grasses. Likewise,
warm season broadleaf weeds
including woodsorrel, spurge

vidual plants may spread out to
about six inches in diameter.
Leaves are pinnately divided giv-
ing the plant a feathery appear-
ance. The seed enclosures are
flattened, callous structures ter-
minating in teeth on spines.
Burweed emerges in early fall
and matures in the spring. The
weed, a cool-season annual vegetative part of the plant dries
introduced from South America, up in May and the seeds remain
has become a nuisance on golf germinate the next
courses, athletic fields, parks and
lawns throughout much of Texas
and the Southwest. The weed
becomes a real nuisance when
the seed matures in the spring
because the sharply pointed
spines on the seed can easily
pierce the skin.

the next fall.
Populations of the weed may
become so high that plants cover
the ground like carpet -- thus, the
name "carpet burweed". Where
grassy weeds such as annual
bluegrass are eliminated by the
use of preemerge herbicides,
the skin. Burweed populations of burweed increase
becomes a deterrent in the spring dramatically in following years,
when the seed matures.
Burweed is a small, low
growing annual plant. In an
unmowed site, it only reaches
two inches in height and the indi- taining 2, 4 D and dicamba will
control burweed in the seedling
stage.
Preemerge herbicides are gen-
erally not effective for burweed
control. In fact, burweed popula-
tions increase where preemerge
herbicides reduce the competi-
tion.
Burweed is indeed a problem
in Panola County lawns. If you
need help identifying what you
believe is lawn burweed, stop by
the Extension office to see me.

and buttonweed are troublesome
during summer months.
Controlling broadleaf weeds
helps turfgrasses develop a
dense, uniform cover that resists
further weed invasion, reduces
mowing requirements and
improves the appearance of
property. On sports fields and
golf courses, weed control also
improves the safety and unifor-
mity of playing surfaces.
Regular mowing and proper
fertilization during late winter
and spring improves the appear-
ance of turf areas and reduces the
competition weeds provide, but
does not eliminate them from the
turf. Chemical control with non
