Parlsey-Piert (Alchemilla arvensis)

Parsley-piert is a low growing winter annual. The fan shaped hairy leaves alternate on the stems. The leaves contain three lobes and each lobe is subdivided again into 3 - 4 lobes.

The flowers are inconspicuous in the leaf axis. Parsley-piert spreads by seed.

Parsley-piert is found from Maryland through Tennessee into Georgia.

 

Cultural Practices:
Young plants may be physically removed. Use of good turf management programs, including a sound fertilization program, to form dense stands of turf grass may assist in prevention of parsley-piert infestation.

Herbicide Use:
For optimum control of parsley-piert, make your postemergent herbicide application to plants that are actively growing and in the seedling to flower stage of growth.
