Cleaning up miscanthus

[dreambig@84]

I have an area where I planted miscanthus last year and I'm getting foxtail and grasses growing amongst the 1st year miscanthus plantings.

It would be a issue burning since it's next to buildings and wouldn't want it to get out of control.

Whats the best way of managing this for weeds now and into summer?

Would mowing along edge of miscathus and spraying miscanthus with simazine work?

Mow it all including miscanthus and get rid of all the trash. Quinclorac & mso if foxtail starts coming back. 24d or duracor for weeds.

Thank you Rob

Can I mow it now and put down duracore to keep weeds at bay? What's the best thing to use as a preeminent or to spray right now after mowing?

Is it too late to put simazine down? I just mowed miscanthus and foxtail last night to 3 inches.
Would it be too late bc it's spring greenup?

Can you spray cleth around miscanthus or is there anything other than Quinclorac that works. My miscanthus is sparse and there is a lot of foxtail. I’m assuming it’s too late in the year to mow it.

Cleth kills grass and would kill miscanthus. Spray Quinclorac with MSO.

If you overspray quinclorac, will it kill miscanthus?

No Quinclorac will not kill established Miscanthus.

Thank you. Whats the definition of "established"?
