That's good advice, and you are exactly right. The damage was worse on the sandy fields. I had talked with the FMC rep before trying Command, and he warned me to use a lower rate on sandy soil. I had some slight damage the first year using Command alone, but a lot of damage last year when using the combo. I could not find anyone who had ever used Command or Cotoran on chufa before, so a lot of it had to be guesswork.

The only reason I used Aim was that he gave me some free. I was trying to control carpetweed with it; didn't work too well, though you can see some that is turning brown in that first pic.
