Something likes the heat......

and it is crabgrass. This little guy likes the voids we make in the practice tee! We are in a pickle, because the typical defense for this monster is a pre-emergent herbicide. We do not want to broadcast pre-emergents on the practice tee, why? Well, we are constantly overseeding the range to account for the use. We typically treat the crabgrass on the range post-emergent.
I have not checked a label, but my experience tells me that nothing good can happen from herbicide applications when the temps are 90+.
I was having a good day until I came up here, was actually thinking the place looked good.
Please practice from the larger crabgrass plants today.
Thanks,
Turf
