   Just curious as to what yall are using for Pre-emergent for Goose grass in your Tif Eagle greens. I have always taken it out with post emergents but the last few years it seems to building a tolerance to it. Hoping to get ahead of the germination if possible.
   Another issue is getting a company to sell in my kneck of the woods so if you have a saleman you want to give me information to I would be much happy!

   James, We had a really bad issue with Indian grabgrass several years ago, and had no choice but to apply Andersons DG 0-0-20w/dithiopyr. At the time is wasn't label for green but we hit it with everything post-emergently and nothing did the trick. We had some greens that were 50% crab. After the application we were 100% clean and no sign of goose. This was on Tifdwarf. I know they are doing some trails with Dimension on ultradwarf and goosegrass control. It maybe something you look into. We used split application 3.5lbs of product 30 days apart.
