If the tuber looks like this picture it is rattlesnake weed, it will take over! But, you can eat the tubers in spring, crunchy, not much flavor though. Weed B Gone is helping me curb my out break.

It's Florida betony, 24d, dicamba etc will control it, atrazine would be the better choice if you have centipede or st Augustine.

This mixture Worked to 98% in my yard ...took several applications... I still have a single piece or two pop up... I just flat dig those taters out and burn in a hot fire...

Some how the road scraper got a small sample down the road in two directions.... If I don't spray ...everybody down the road gonna have the junk...

All over one nice lady desire to give me a couple of her plunge trees... had to be at most a couple taters inside the roots of the plums....
Sad part neither plum lived ...but the junk did.

If your lawn is still dry and dormant you can burn the entire yard. Grass will come back but not the weeds.
