Spot Weed Control

I've been doing some spot weed control on the course the last couple of weeks with more dry weather helping us out.  Instead of doing full broadcast applications, we have been doing spot treatments with both our regular spray machine and small backpack applications.  Wall to wall applications are not necessary, costly and not responsible to the environment we are entrusted to protect.  The spray should be clearing up over the next few days as the turf is mowed and the dying weeds disintegrate.

A little larger area of knotweed contamination along #18 left rough which was too large of an area to spray with the backpack.

You've probably noticed some brown areas where I've made applications in fairways, around greens and spot spraying on tees.  This has been for Kyllinga pictured above and yellow nutsedge.  #1 tee area is covered in Kyllinga and I plan to spray it with the machine after the Invitational is over this week.
