So I'm pulling the sporadic triv that's cropping up here and there in my reseeded areas (it's at 5 or 6 inches vs. my 3" new grass so it's easy to spot), but I'm also noticing more large patches coming in where I didn't previously roundup/seed (and either missed a few weeks ago or it's just spreading).
Should I round those up now, try Certainty in the spring/early summer (June 1 according to the label), understanding that it will hurt fescue (but shouldn't hurt PR/KBG) or do some other course of action? Actually, I think it hurts Rye if applied heavily, not sure if it does at the level I'd be applying it at.
Thanks as always.
I wanted to follow-up this trail from the fall, and ask what I should be doing (and when) concerning Poa Triv that is starting to grow. There are a few patches of lighter green grass which I'm not yet sure is poa, or just new grass from the fall, but in other areas there is absolutely poa popping up here and there. I've been pulling it out, but is there anything else I should do that this point?
Is glyphosate better than pulling it, as I've been having some issues pulling out the whole thing (it keeps breaking)? Or maybe one of those weed removers that you push in, tilt the pole, and out comes the weed (like this just as a quick example:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001D ... HCLF&psc=1)?
Also, what if anything (aside from pulling/rounding up what I see) should I be doing on a broadcast basis? Or nothing, as there is nothing that kills triv? I was thinking of possibly using starter fert with mesotrione (even though I'm not seeding) in May (as my 1st fert application) as perhaps the mesotrione might help highlight (by whitening) some triv, making it easier for me to spot spray?
I might also try Certainty (in small areas), as you guys (I forget who) provided me some labels/ratios that are ok to use in Tall Fescue/KBG...
I know it's a long battle, just trying to get my game plan in order for this year.
Thanks!
