Encroachment of weeds into turfgrass is usually a sign of a weakened stand due to such factors as insects, diseases, nematodes, inadequate watering, improper mowing, poor fertilization, incorrect pH, etc. Herbicides may temporarily remove the weeds; however, unless the basic cause of the weakened turf is corrected, the weeds will continue to return as a problem.
