White turf?
The last two seasons we have incorporated a newer herbicide into out grassy weed control program that controls goosegrass , crabgrass, and common bermuda grass, along with limited control of a few species of broadleaf weeds.
It works by disrupting carotenoid biosynthesis and chlorophyll production, causing photosynthesis to stop. Without the plant able to convert sunlight to energy, the plant uses up its stored carbohydrates and then dies. This process takes approximately three weeks. In some plants, such as common bermuda grass, several applications are needed to control the plant.
You are not seeing ghosts or snow! 
Yet, you can see where we have used this chemistry, and how well it is working!
