I notice you did mention herbicides. Research has shown effectiveness of crabgrass pre-emergent herbicides on stiltgrass and, if the site warrants it, you can also kill stiltgrass with post emergent selective grass herbicides such as Poast and Fusilaide. Of
course, depending on your state law and the material selected there may be a requirement to have the application done by a certified pesticide applicator.<br>

in July and come back in late August to remove late emergents. The amount of work in August was only 10% of the amount of work in July. Now it is an equal amount. In fact, I had to remove beefsteak plant 3 times to be sure I got late emergents.

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue">Other explanations include deer movement and movement of stiltgrass down streams. 90 % of the massive new populations that have sudenly apppeared at Swann
Park are not near streams and not where people use the park. Deer may be more effective in bringing in stiltgrass since the areas contiguous with Swann Park are now covered with stiltgrass so it is easier to come in. So stiltgrass is probably moving in by
deer and water from abundant sources from outside of the park. </span></strong><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
