Overview of the most common weeds

Weeds are far more difficult to remove from the lawn than grass weeds. Here is an overview:

Millet
Often occurs when there is a maize field or vineyard nearby. Broad leaf structure, likes to grow directly on the ground. Heavily covered with seeds, which should not fall off during control.

Annual bluegrassPoa annua
Easily recognizable by its white flowers; one of the least popular annual grasses on golf courses;Attention:purple flowers mean that it is Poa pratensis, which is desirable in the lawn.

(Common) couch grassElymus repens
Long creeping brown or white roots. The almost indestructible leaves are stiff. Not very dense.

Common paniclePoa trivialis
Recognizable by the broader grasses. Common panicle emerges in spring. Light green leaf color. A reddish coloration can be seen on the stem.

White ostrich grassAgrostis stolonifera
Very fluffy, very tread-resistant and low shear strength. Appears as patches on the lawn.

Bermudagras
Bermudagrass is a so-called warm season grass and feels particularly at home in areas such as the south of the USA. Here in Europe, the grass goes into a kind of dormant state in winter, which is called dormancy. During this time, this grass does not look good, it turns almost completely brown and growth largely stops.
