Oxalis (Creeping Woodsorrel)
Creeping woodsorrel grows in both full sun and shade in areas that receive adequate moisture. It is a perennial plant (lives for several seasons) that grows in a prostrate manner (low and creeping) and forms roots along its stems where nodes contact the soil. In cool-season turfgrass (ryegrass, tall fescue, and Kentucky bluegrass) Triclopyr (Turflon) is available for the control of established creeping woodsorrel plants. Other herbicides currently on the market that mention the control of Oxalis in turf on their labels are mostly ineffective.

White Clover
White clover, found throughout the United States, is a shallow rooted winter perennial legume which spreads by stolons or above ground runners. The plant takes root from the stolons at nodes along the stems when they come in contact with the soil. Preventive practices can discourage clover infestation. Mechanical or physical removal is not recommended, as stolons may break and sprout with the potential to increase, rather than decrease, the infestation. TRIMECŪ Plus Post-Emergent broadleaf herbicide is a good control material.

Burclover
Preventive practices can discourage bur clover infestation. Mechanical or physical removal is not recommended, as stolons may break and sprout with the potential to increase rather than decrease the infestation. TRIMECŪ Plus Post-Emergent broadleaf herbicide is a good control material.
