   Looking for some help: we have a significant amount of crab showing up on several of our greens - too much to remove manually. Greens are 4 year old Champion, built California style and we have never used pre-emerge on them but looks like we might have to start next year. Any suggestions for chemical control?
   
   Oh yes - we just endured about 6 days in a row of 100 degrees plus (like many others). Greens are healthy but it is still hot.
   
   Any suggestions are much appreciated.

   Paul,
   
   Hope all is well up there in SC. You can spray MSMA at half rate with no issues. I just grew in some new champion out here in Oklahoma and sprayed MSMA/Illoxan at half rates weekly on 5 week old sprigs with no setbacks.
