Ask A Pro: Crabgrass ID and Recommendations

Recently we had one of our customers send an email to us asking for an ID on a weed growing on his lawn. Here's what he asked along with a image submission of his problem weed:

Can you id and suggest post-emer control in hybrid bermuda?  Thanks.

Our Answer:

Hi Michael. This appears to be crabgrass. It is best controlled by using Quinclorac which is a pre-emergent herbicide. Results my take 6 months to a year. You would need to apply now before spring and again mid May.

Sometimes it can be tough trying to identify a problem pest or weed on your own. They may be too small or so unique that you can't make it out. If you send us a picture of your problem pest or weed to identification@solutionsstores.com, we will reply back to you with the proper identification of your issue and give you suggestions and recommendations on the best method of control. Keep this in mind next time you encounter an issue, we're glad to help.
