I have three (3) distinct weed types growing in my El Toro Zoysia that I could use help IDing and developing a program to address (see Fig. 1).
FIgure 1. Three weed types I've found growing in my lawn.
The first one is a fine bladed, densely clustered grass-type that I've found interspersed throughout my lawn. It has a somewhat spongy base with occasional, shallow rooted horizontal runners (see Fig. 2)..
Figure 2. Weed specimen #1 appears to be a fine bladed, densely clustered grass-type.
This second one appears as a single, tall shoot with a very glossy appearance (see Figs. 3-4). The color value is very close to my Zoysia but they're easy to spot from ground level as they tend to stand up somewhat taller than the surrounding grass.
Figure 3. Weed specimen #2 comes as a single shoot.
Figure 4. Ground level view of specimen #2. Note the height of the weed compared to the surrounding grass.
Finally, the third weed has clover-like leaves with purplish colored centers (see Fig. 5). These tend to appear randomly throughout the yard and have very fine roots when new. Once mature, they're root system grows much deeper and they're easier to spot with more leaves growing from the main structure (see Fig 6).
Figure 5. Weed specimen #3. Note the slight purplish colored centers on the leaves.
Figure 6. Specimen #3 in situ.
Thx in advance for the help!
