It's invasive in many states, including here.

I spray in the early spring before the grass comes out green.

What do you spray it with?

A broad leaf herbicide mixture. I use Remedy with a dash of Sendero and a good 80/20 surfactant.
If the grass is already green I make the mixture weaker so that it won't burn grass when i spray.

I see that Remedy has triclopyr in it. I use Crossbow on brush weeds around here for the triclopyr in it. May give that a shot.Not going to eradicate it but try to keep it down in certain areas.

Had to look up chiggerweed , queen anne's lace . Dad always said there were chiggers in that. In comes out in august around here usually when it is drier. never got chiggers in it. Always get mine in the blackberries and in the garden.
Re: It's taking over - 09/22/19
I also looked up chiggerweed........ Wasn't sure what it was; but it's just Queen Anne's Lace. Never heard it called anything different.

Well in the Vol state they also call a garden hose a 'hose pipe', a good dinner a 'meat and three', a creek a 'crick' and a window a 'winder' .

Name an invasive insect, aquatic critter or weed that HASN"T come here from Asia to plague us.
Re: It's taking over - 09/22/19
the war against exotics is picking up steam.
but some among us would say it's too little, too late.
we can slow the rate of invasionary species, but we can't stop it.
but maybe some of the experts are wrong. i hope so, but doubt it.

Thought for sure you could have worked taxes in there somehow.

given the invasiveness of such things as cogon grass, taxes can help?
cogon grass, from japan is a bad actor.
gov't will help control w/taxes?
that is, taxes pay for control.

A gulch or gully. Now mind you I was born in NY raised in Ky and lived in Colorado. Example; My house now is situated on a hogback between two small drainages with a gully running the length of the gravel drive down to the creek .

Is this recommended by KY Fish and Wildlife for small game habitat?

They say quail love the seeds. Then I read it is not good food for quail. I see a lot of quail around here though.

Maybe the autumn olives will crowd it out. Got plenty of them. But at least you can eat the berries.

Does it have a common name ?? I have been trying to get the wild parsnip out of my CRP. I have the wild flower and grasses program. The wild parsnip is just about to take it over. Just like it has done in the ditches and pastures. Now I have a new one to worry about. It looks familiar but I can't say that for sure yet.

Lespedeza cuneata is a species of flowering plant in the legume family known by the common names Chinese bushclover and sericea lespedeza, or just sericea. It is native to Asia and eastern Australia and it is present elsewhere as an introduced species and sometimes an invasive plant.
Down in Tenn. they call it chinkweed.
Re: It's taking over - 09/22/19
Chinkweed is funny!
Re: It's taking over - 09/23/19
Dallisgrass from Central America. It has taken over every yard and field around here except for the artificial turf fields.
