Spring into selective weed control in turf

I saw the very first Dandelion in flower yesterday on a lawn. Surrounding it, were Daisies enjoying the spring sunshine. Spring arrives early this year. While March 21st is traditionally the first day of spring, the astronomical event that marks the turn of the seasons – the Vernal Equinox – occurs at 11.44 on Friday the 20th March.

As their name suggests, the two equinoxes of spring and autumn are the points when day and night are of equal length – at least north or south of the equator, where light and dark are a lways in balance.
