I am writing to express my heavy opposition to the considered ban of msma in turfgrasses. The use of msma is critical for control of many problemsome weeds found in turfgrasses everywhere. My main concern has to do with dallisgrass control. While dallisgrass is commonly mistaken for crabgrass, control is much different and very difficut. While crabgrass is an annual and can be controlled by pre-emergent herbicides, dallisgrass is perenially and pre-emergents are not effective. Dallisgrass is everywhere and is becoming very invasive, the only current chemical available to treat it effectively without killing an entire yard is msma. The removal of the registration of this product will result in major lawn issues for homeowners. Thank You
