WHITETOP (Hoary Cress) CONTROL

Dupont Logo Pasture/Rangeland/Non-crop –Escort® XP or Telar® XP, one ounce at bud (not bloom, just when you are seeing a few flowers opening up).

Turf – Corsair, about any stage, caution – will take out Rye grass and Fescue grasses so you must know what kind of grass the turf is

Roundup plus 2,4-D is somewhat effective in ornamentals.

Mechanical control is not recommended as this plant is a rhizomatous perennial and cultivation will encourage more growth.

There is no biocontrol for the plant, but research is under way to find one.
