| I have an Ornamental grass problem in my lawn, My dwarf fountain grass has spread seeds to my lawn and its getting out of control, What can I do to get rid of the small dwarf fountain grass plants growing in my lawn. Up till now I have been pulling them out as I mow. They come right up roots and all. But they are winning, Is there a herbicide I could apply with out hurting my lawn, ( Kentucky blue grass, perennial rye ect) |

| I'd say ALL herbicides sold on store shelves are able to be spread, sprayed, to kill most broadleafed weeds without harming the natural grass. The varieties with their trade names abound so if you have any questions about their ability to kill what weeds you have, then ask....and do read the label for instructions on how/when/where to apply. Most times simple mowing of what is sometimes spread by the wind of seeds will keep down any growth of seedlings as they appear. Spraying by hand on the seedling can be effective without having to do widespread spraying which, on a windy day, can be very distructive to other plants. |

| "I'd say ALL herbicides sold on store shelves are able to be spread, sprayed, to kill most broadleafed weeds without harming the natural grass." goren, I would have to disagree with the above statement. Example: A person would definitely NOT want to spray glyphosate (Roundup), a non-selective herbicide, on turfgrass that they were not trying to kill. Any turfgrass that Roundup comes into contact with will die. |

| Info you want on page 2 of below ref. Today there are many products containing quinclorac. The original was Drive 75WDG, but Drive XLR8 is more commonly found today. Don't know if Drive is available in consumer market, but a few products in market do contain quinclorac today. |
