About Goosegrass
This invasive weed thrives in compacted, sunny areas and is recognizable by its flat, finger-like seed heads and low-growing, tufted clumps. Goosegrass (Eleusine indica) competes aggressively with turfgrass, especially in lawns throughout Middle Tennessee, including Columbia and Spring Hill, reducing lawn quality and uniformity. Effective management is essential to maintain a healthy, weed-free lawn.
Goosegrass (Eleusine indica) 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.
