Cynodon dactylon
About Cynodon dactylon
This aggressive warm-season grass spreads rapidly through above-ground stolons and underground rhizomes, often invading lawns and competing with desirable turfgrass. Its fine-textured leaves and dense growth habit make it difficult to control, especially in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood, where warm summers encourage its spread. Managing bermudagrass requires vigilant lawn care practices and targeted herbicide treatments to maintain a healthy, uniform lawn.
Cynodon dactylon is a turf weed commonly found in lawns throughout Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Weed Identification Library.
As lawn care and treatment specialists, we identify and treat Cynodon dactylon regularly when servicing properties across the region. Proper identification is the first step toward selecting the right herbicide and timing for effective control.
