All I know is that I likes high calcium soil. I say that because I mow the sides of the road and I often find it on the hills. That is because the soil adjacent to the road is always high in calcium where so much salt was spread to keep the snow and ice off the roadway so car and trucks can make it up the hill.
I would say if you want to get rid of it, you would need a fertilizer (manure) that was high in potash to make its growing conditions rather unfavorable. Grass easily outcompetes weeds when it has the right amounts of Lime/Sulphur and NPK. Getting one of those higher or lower than others, and a certain weed species will flourish.
