Parsley Piert Control in Bermudagrass: A Multi-Year Battle

Q: What pre-emergent works for parsley piert in bermuda? I plan to apply in September.

A: Parsley piert is a winter annual that's hard to control. Common pre-emergents (dithiopyr, pendimethalin) fail. Isoxaben helps but is only in Bayer Advanced Season-Long Weed Control. Combine with proper mowing height and aggressive bermuda fertilization. Like lawn burweed, control is a years-long process.
