Cultural Practices:
Hairy beggarticks is a warm season annual. Hairy beggarticks can be found
in thin turf and disturbed areas. Good turf cultural practices should
be followed to thicken the turf area. Regular mowing will reduce the growth
of the stems preventing the flowers and seeds from developing.
Herbicide Use:
For optimum control, make your postemergent herbicide application to hairy
beggartick that is young and actively growing
