NewProducers growing grasses for hay or forage can use this resource to learn about, identify, and control smutgrass. Perennial grass weeds can be problematic in forage systems as few herbicides are available, especially for use in bahiagrass and tall fescue. An integrated weed management plan is critical for combatting smutgrass in Georgia forage systems. For example, a timely fertilizer application following hexazinone can accelerate bahiagrass recovery giving it a competitive advantage over other weed species. This resource also includes a brief summary of smutgrass research at UGA.
