Weed and Poison help appreciated

[EddieWalker]

This seems to be the most common and aggressive weed that I have in my fields. It's everywhere. When I mow, it just comes right back.

Can somebody help me out by identifying what it is?

Can you give me some suggestions on what to use to kill it that won't kill my bermuda grass?

Thank you,
Eddie

Hey Eddie,
At first i thought it was Broomweed until I resized the photo, don't know, almost looks like some kind of wild clover type. I would try 2-4-D you may be able to get enough from your local Feed/ fertilyzer, Co-op store to try a small area.

I used to have it put on my coastal, mixed at 2 pints - 1 quart per acre along with my liquid fertilyzer, then I put out the rest of years fertilyzer with the co-op spreaders. I love the 2-4-D works great on leafy plants and never had a problem with it on coastal. You may want to take a piece with you to see if they think it would work.

MSMA works wonders on all types of weeds and grasses EXCEPT bermuda. The hotter the weather, the better.

Google Images for Least Hops Clover and see that is what it is. If it is a clover it is actually good for the soil and the grass as it will be putting nitrogen into the soil for you.

Charlz,

That sure looks like it. Thank you.

It also seems to be a plant that's not all bad. I'll just keep mowing it, since that seems to be the best way to control it.
