This grassy weed is commonly confused with Crabgrass due to its similar appearance and time of emergence. 

Dallisgrass Facts:

• Emerges in late spring through summer
• Perennial grass
• Grows in spreading clumps
• Leaf blades are yellow-green, 1/2" wide, with a prominent mid-rib
• Often grows in areas with poor drainage
• Spreads by seeds and underground root structures

Control Tips:

• Specialty selective, post-emergent herbicide applications have been proven to reduce this weed over time. 
• Correct areas with poor drainage.
• Thick turfgrass areas will yield fewer weeds. Fertilize regularly, aerate and overseed each fall.
• Mowing at 3-4" will encourage a healthy lawn and reduce weed growth. 
• Irrigate lawn areas regularly so they receive 1-2" of water each week. 
• Proactive, comprehensive lawn care programs are recommended for best control.
