Wild ONIONS Cure

[bgz]

Hello everyone,
I have a customer that has a great concern for the wild onions here in the south. I did not know if anyone has found a solution for this or if there is a chemical that works well with this. Thanks for all input for it is greatly appreciated.

Metsulfuron works better than any 2-4d based product or image. It also removes many broadleafs, kills ryegrass and hurts poa. Soil absorbed and gives a couple of weeks of residual effect.

kills rye?

metsulfuron may not be the best chem application in some southern yards. Although some places rye grass is considered a nuisance here in the transition zone it is all the grass we get in the winter. I am not sure if in most cases that if something kills onions it kills rye also. if there are ways of avoiding killing grass that is somewhat useful, that may be the preferred method to use.

dude i got you...... im the one you wanna talk to ,, get speed zone 1.2 oz per galon .. then before you spray it crush it with your foot this will break the waxy coating, i get accused of running around the yard like a wild gorilla all the time. it will turn white cut it with a weedeater or wait until it warms up and mow it...

not to highjack this thread but about metsulfuron will this kill poa without harming fescue?

The guy that asked the question said he was from the South, not the transition zone. About half of South Carolina is in zone 8A. None of TN is in zone 8a.
Any of the 2-4d based mixes will kill onions and not harm rye. Metsulfuron does a better job, if you aren't worried about cool season grasses.

Ummm

Not trying to plagiarize too much

Turfgrass Adaptation Map

The United States generally is divided into four separate climatic zones of grass adaptation, and one "transition zone". They include the the following zones:

cool/humid zone that encompasses the Northeast, several states of the Midwest and much of the Pacific Northwest.
warm/humid zone that includes the Southeast and extends into Texas.
warm/arid zone that extends from Texas into Southern California.
cool/arid zone that includes the dryer areas of the Midwest and West.
transition zone: In addition, there is a region known in the turf industry as the transition zone, which extends through the central part of the country and includes parts of each of the other four zones. This is the most difficult region in which to manage grasses. In the transition zone, it is cool enough in the winter to make it difficult to maintain many warm-season grasses, yet it is warm enough in the summer to make it difficult to successfully grow cool-season grasses.

That was what I meant by transition zone. I wasnt trying to point out one zone in particular. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
