Video Script for Onion Weed Control as follows:

1) Gidday it’s the lawn expert

2) Getting Rid Of Onion WEED In Your Lawn? I will show you how. Behind me is a customer’s front lawn and I will show you a sample of Onion Weed. This lawn is riddled with Onion Weed.

3) Onion Weed (its botanical name is Nothoscordum borbonicum).

4) Today we are starting a new Lawn Care program for this new customer. What we will be doing is to fertilise with our premier granular fertilizer, then we will test spray the buffalo. Then in 2 weeks we will come back to check the test spraying. Once we see the lawn is OK then we know we can safely spray the lawn all over.

5) Regarding test spraying Buffalo Grass we cover this in another video at https://youtu.be/UQrYo1EYDDc

6) Fortunately we can selectively remove Onion Weed from all grasses including Buffalo, Couch, Kikuyu & Zoysia except Rye Grass and Queensland Blue Couch using the selective herbicide called Duke (made by Indigo Specialty). For the other broadleaf weeds we use Warhead herbicide (also made by Indigo Specialty). Warhead is a generic of the original Spearhead herbicide. For wintergrass we use Poachek. All these herbicides need to be applied a week apart.

7) Duke kills Rye Grass and badly damages Queensland Blue Couch.

8) The label for Duke can be viewed at https://indigospecialty.com.au/herbicides/

9) When applying Destiny make sure you mix it with a surfactant.

10) Hope this helps.
