My problem is I now have rescue grass popping up everywhere-- mainly in the cracks from the edge of the sod pieces. I know I can treat it in June and July with MSMA. My question is, is there anything I can do now to help control it before it gets any worse? I fertilized with a starter fert right after we moved in, and just fertilized again yesterday. It's beginning to come out of dormancy, and I'm hoping to get it growing ASAP so I can treat the Rescue as soon as I feel the bermuda is ready for it.

Thanks so much for your help. I'm 90% sure it's Rescue, but I'll take some pictures tomorrow to make sure. There are a few broadleaf weeds too, but I'll get them with Atrazine in a month or so when the grass is thriving. The only other issue is a lot of Poa Annua, but I know that will die off quickly once the warm weather hits-- which is a certainty in Ft. Worth.

I checked out the website, but the illustrations are a little tough for me to grasp. Hopefully those pictures will be posted soon. I emailed them to editor@turfgrass.com.

They appear to be purely vegetative, no inflorescences, which will make them hard to distinguish from other cool-season grasses.

Were you able to see the pictures to determine if the weeds were indeed Rescue Grass?

I don't mean to be a nuisance, but you seem to have some good knowledge around this forum. Did you happen to see the pictures? If not, I'll be happy to email them to you, if you'd like.

Thanks again for your help.
