[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5862881, member: 20151"] I should have taken the time to better respond. I agree with you that the grasses will take these areas. Mowing ragweed high before it gets over knee high will cause it to sucker and will briefly extend the period that it seems palatable while still shading out the grasses but I find mowing these areas in late winter brings out the cool season forbs come spring better and they will still be able to outcompete the grasses. When they do not a grass specific herbicide like clethodim can come to the rescue. Rotational prescribed burns are always a good thing but again do it early so the cool season plants get a head start. Sometimes it is necessary to employ a disk but I do try to avoid it as much as possible. Remember any sun to soil contact in warm weather will bring the grasses. [/QUOTE]
