Yellow woodsorrel, a perennial weed, is usually first noticed when it forms yellow flowers from May through September. Mowing, fertilizing, or irrigating to control creeping woodsorrel isn’t effective; the more vigorous the turfgrass, the more vigorous the creeping woodsorrel.

A variant of creeping woodsorrel, O. corniculata variety atropurpurea, has purple leaves. In turfgrass the herbicides most commonly used for selective control, like MCPA, 2,4-D, dicamba, and mecoprop, are relatively ineffective (Lovett Doust et al., 1985; Holt, 1986; Kaapro, 2002).

O. corniculata is found in many crops in many different countries, but there appears to be no information on how much effect this weedy species has on crop yield or quality. 21. Alfarhan AH; Al-Turki TA; Basahy AY, 2005. The two primary methods for managing creeping woodsorrel are removing established plants and controlling germinating seeds. Oryzalin can’t be used in all turfgrass species, so check the label for restrictions and carefully follow the directions for use.

O. corniculata itself is very variable in form and its wide geographic distribution and its long journey, if Eiten’s (1963) idea is true, from Australasia to South America and then far beyond, resulted in this species spawning other species along the way, many of which have characteristics in common with their possible parent species.
