I have got lots of this weed in my bermuda & centipede lawn. I am in N.W. Louisiana.
What is it?

Thanks for the chance to name your weed. I have selected Fred as it’s new name.

Maybe I should have been a little more specific!
Are you sure it’s male?

i believe it’s poa annua- wild bluegrass.it’ll burn off in your market.

Thanks Ted!
From what I have read this stuff is nearly impossible to kill off. Is this true?
Also, I assume that a pre-emergent in the late winter will keep it away. What kind would I need to use?

no. it’s easy- the warm weather should get it. try prograss or velocity, but check the label first.

Poa annua is a winter annual. Pre M will help to control it if applied in Fall. Also know that there are two types of Poa. Annual and a Perennial type. The perennial type is a little harder to control. It takes the heat better and will go into dormancy, then reemerge with moisture and cooler weather.
Just some thoughts…………

SORRY UNABLE TO IDENTIFY YOUR WEED … HOWEVER IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR LAWN TREATED WITH ” MANOR OR BLADE” BOTH OF THESE PRODUCTS ARE FORMULATIONS OF METSAFLURON sp. OR AT LEAST “SPEEDZONE” EITHER OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL PROVIDE CONTROL . CAREFUL BOTH PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE SOME DISCOLORATION IN THE HOST TURF
