Point me in the right direction if I'm wrong, but I understood clover
to be beneficial as it provides nitrogen and is also a deterrent to
those pesky root eating grubs. Unless of course it has taken over the
lawn....

Hi all,

On the ongoing saga of clover in my buffalo lawn, I re-sprayed the
clover on Saturday afternoon with Bindii and clover killer in nice
clear skies only to have to pour down with torrential rain about 2
hours later....

I'm assuming the rain will have washed away the poison but before I
go and do this again (and probably kill my grass into the bargain) I
was just wondering if the poison would have been washed away?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave.




I think it will most likely work. Clover has fairly soft leaves and
the herbicide will have passed through (via a surfactant) quite
quickly. What doesn't get in a few hours, probably won't anyway.

Give it at least 3 weeks - if there is no yellowing, then re-spray.

Yes, you are right. Killing clover is done only for the purpose of
presentation. It forms a relationship with bacteria that produce the
nitrogen.
