Clover is an indicator plant for low nitrogen. Adding fertilizer to your program will help combat your clover problem but I don’t think it will cure your woes.

Banvel(dicamba) will.

Take care and good luck……….

Cohiba,I’ve been enjoying your sense of humor on this forum. You seem to know all there is to know about the turf industry. I am trying to start my own chemical lawn service and don’t know how to begin…I do have my applicators license. I’m posting on this topic forum cause it looked like the last one you submitted a reply to.Could you e-mail me directly?

‘d appreciate any help you could provide. Gary

depending upon where you live, i would use roundup then reseed with the correct grass type for your area.
