BermudagrassBermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is a major turf species for sports fields, lawns, parks, golf courses, and general utility turfs in Australia, Africa, India, South America and the Southern region of the United States. It is found in over 100 counties throughout the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Common bermudagrass, C. dactylon, naturalized throughout the warmer regions of the United States, was introduced into this country during the colonial period from Africa or India. The earliest introductions are not recorded, but bermudagrass is listed as one of the principal grasses in the Southern States in Mease's Geological Account of the United States published in 1807. |

It is a perennial weed that has bright green, rounded leaves with wavy margins. Small white flowers bloom from July to August. The creeping stems root wherever their nodes touch the soil, increasing the number of plants. If not controlled, dollarweed can form dense mats that crowd out desirable plants.

MossMoss is a shallow rooted plant that covers the ground, smothering grass and exhausting food reserves from the soil. It grows most actively in late fall and winter, especially during mild, wet weather with overcast skies. Moss spreads by a variety of methods. Most species produce small capsules containing spores above the leafy part of the plant. These spores are easily dispersed by wind, water or traffic. After coming into contact with soil, they germinate and form a |
