Which ones are effective against grasslike weeds? when and how do you apply it?

Thanks for your answers.

You'll want a broad-leaf selective weedkiller that contains 24-D. It's a growth hormone that effectively grows the broad-leaves to death. In the UK you can buy what's known as "weed and feed" that is formulated in granules to spread on the lawn to take care of the broad-leaf weeds and give the grass a boost.





Most grasses are what are known as monocots while the broad-leafs are dicots. Most strap like leaved plants/weeds will not be effected by a broad-leaf killer.





Alternatively make up a cardboard collar to go around your weed and spray or paint it with glyphosate or any systemic weedkiller. The collar should protect the surrounding plants as glyphosate will kill ALL plants, it is really good though!





Hope that helps a bit.
Reply:Round-up or Weed be Gone are good for spraying on weeds. Don't do it on a windy day. I spray in the middle of the weed close to the ground. It will kill the grass, so be careful.
Reply:all can say is that weedkillers that contain glyphosate are very effective at killing perennial plants.





i think it's safe when dry in areas that animals are.





it travels down to the roots, killing the whole plant and is apparently inactivated when it comes into contact with the soil.
