Does anyone know how to get rid of onions in grass? I have a large yard and pulling them is not an option.

24d type products are your best bet- weed be gone, etc. at your local hardware store

2,4,d good to use, but you will not kill it all with one application. In my state you can only apply 2,4,d twice per year. It will take you a few years to get rid of that weed because of it’s underground bulblets.

Actually, I’ve never had any problems with killing onions. But , I am a chemical lawn care company owner. The stuff you buy in the stores can’t touch the professional level herbicides, so i suppose the deck is stacked somewhat in the pro’s favor. 24d is definitely the product, you might try looking at a farm or ag supply store. I’ve never heard of limitations on how many aps a year of the 24d you could use, but it probably doesn’t apply to homeowners, private use, and would be impossible to regulate.

I tried 2-4D last year and this year I have a bumper crop. Thinking of putting up a sign: FREE ONIONS, PICK YOUR OWN!I was told that you can spray the 2-4D on as long as the Zoysia is dormat. During the summer, they disapear.

2,4-d is a post emergent product , so it has no preventative effect. if you spray the weed today, another one could pop up in a week, or next year. the zoysiagrass can handle weed control, but you have to be careful as it’s greening up during it’s transition period.
