Paleseed plantain is a winter annual, sometimes a biannual. The leaves form in a basal rosette. The leaves are oblanceolate in shape, usually having smooth edges, soft hairs and ranging from 2 - 4 inches in length. Paleseed plantain forms a taproot. Paleseed plantain spreads from seed that is produced from flowers present in late spring. The seedhead is formed in a rat tail shape similar to broadleaf plantain. |

Paleseed plantain is found in many parts of North America.
| Integrated Pest Management Control Recommendations: |
Cultural Practices:
Paleseed
plantain does best in dry open sandy soils. Paleseed plantain does not
compete well with actively growing turfgrass. Follow good cultural practices
that will result in a thick stand of turfgrass.
Herbicide Use:
For optimum control, make your postemergent herbicide application
when paleseed plantain is young and actively growing, generally in the
fall.
