Spring Weed Control in West Tennessee Lawns

Timing and Product Selection

Apply selective broadleaf herbicide when grass is actively growing and weeds are emerging. Products like Weed-B-Gon (2,4-D + MCPP + dicamba) control henbit, wild onions, and other broadleaves safely in turf.

Key Rules

• Selective only – Never use non-selective (glyphosate) on desirable grass.
• Active growth – Weeds must be growing to translocate herbicide.
• Spot treat – Minimizes chemical use and turf stress.

Wild Onion Note

Wild onions/garlic may require repeat applications or a product with specific activity on alliums (check label). Fall treatment is often more effective for these perennials.
