3 Easy Ways on How to Kill POA ANNUA // Cost effective kill POA Tips

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Kill POA Dallisgrass in one day with this all natural weed killer today kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJKke5WEna5pl68

[@SunnyBermuda]

Yes, I've got some Poa, too. I used Certainty to knock it out, but it's a bit pricey. Great video on the different options.

[@kleenk8]

Spray and pray...spray and pray. Thanks for putting in the work to help us.

[@reginaldwilkinson6207]

BYD, I started using Image for POA after seeing your videos and it works great, but also folks should be mindful that the RED label is for warm season grass ONLY. DO NOT use red label Image on Fescue/cool season grass, it will damage it. Image makes YELLOW label that kills POA on cool season grass, which does not damage the fescue/cool season grass and that works great. Just FYI.

[@ferraridan4883]

Here is the Negate formula; 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. I bought several stainless steel 1/4th teaspoons off Amazon for about 5 bucks. Put a quarter teaspoon in a shaker bottle such as a 16 oz soda bottle half full with water. Shake it up for about a minute and it'll turn milk white. Pour that mixture into one gallon of water; double it if you need 2 gallons. I then put in a tank sprayer with a several oz of blue dye such as turf mark. Shake that up extremely well. Start spraying all of the POA then water it in in a few days. It does not work through foliar intake but through roots; that's why you have to water in it. Apply within a few days before a known rain will help also. The Negate bottle will tell you have to mix up the entire bottle at one time. This formula keeps you from having to do that. Hope this helps

[@Ahch.]

Your old video did the trick for me! The pre-emergent, bagging the grass, and post emergent is a death blow to POA. I can testify to that. Also, the POA becomes less prevalent each year with your method.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Thanks Ahch

[@sandrasloan7115]

Thank you so much for the great video tutorial. And thank you to my sister. Barbara Wilkey Sisson for sharing it and identifying this very invasive poa. I am certainly going to follow up with these recommendations.

Negate 37w worked wonders for me.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Been hearing good things about that, I’m going to try it. Thanks

FYI, RightLine ETHO 4 SC Herbicide Prograss SC is the same active ingredient as Poa Constrictor for ~ half the price. Half gal is about $85.

Negate post emergent with a surfactant works wonders…use as recommended and give it 2-3 weeks. Burns it all off

I tried Round Up and Image. Some POA was killed but it has spread all over my yard. I finally gave up on chemicals and decide to burn it out. My yard now looks like a war zone. I plan to aerate and re-seed with dilute urine for nitrogen. My neighbor had a fire and it burned up a lot of his yard. Later, it looks marvelous. Hoping for the same.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Let me know how it turns out.

You are welcome 🙏🏾

[@1961fireguy]

Atrazine will kill Poa and prevent it from germinating. If you have warm season grasses Scotts Bonus S does a good job of controlling Poa. You have to apply it twice a year spring and fall. If you have San Augustine, Zoysia, Centipede, it works great. Will damage Bermuda (yellows) but it will return no problem.

[@mikeoverturf5482]

I've got a bottle of image but it does list any cool season grasses didn't want to kill all the lawn.

[@DanTheLawnMan]

Haven’t had to deal with poa but that poa is like my crabgrass/goose grass issue here. I do some of these steps as well.

[@Dstromb232]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@sammigans]

My pre emergent doesn’t seem to be effective against poa. I use Scott’s halt for crabgrass and grassy weed, but every year it’s here to stay. I try to pull it as soon as I see it emerge

[@Nick23at63]

One site online said MSM Turf would kill Poa, but I haven't seen that anywhere else. Anyway, I sprayed MSMT last Sunday on my Poa, and if it works, I'll let you know. I know it worked well on the Bahia I had, but it took longer than other weed killers.

Image seems to slow down my Bermuda growth when I use it. Comes in real thin and takes 2 months to recover.

Which ever works rather fastest, lol 😆

[@Holleywood]

Image did not work for me. Negate 37wg worked on the first application. Follow the instructions exactly and don't spray when the lawn is stressed. Worked perfectly on my bermuda lawn, but not for all types of grass.

[@Holleywood]

Sorry forgot to include the target weed was poa annua.

[@Nvent1]

How long after using image can you seed/overseed? And tips on how to gage how much you use? I mean i don't have 8k sq for yard. Thank you. I reseeded last fall, thought my tall fescue lasted good through winter, well it's infested with poa anuua, trevelis and some dallis grass. I'm thinking of resseding in spring again. But want to eliminate as much of those as possible before mid may when temps here will be good to seed. I spent 3 days pulling a lot up, Thanks

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

This product is not for Fescue or Cool season lawns. Using it will cause severe sage damage on fescue

Good video! I am coming to bermuda yard care late having just moved to the SE from the MW. I've just last week finally identified the problem in my yard as poa ... I have the sprayer, I have the Image, and I have the dye. But, what I don't have is the dormant bermuda ... the yard is starting to green up. Is Image still safe to use on non-dormant bermuda? Or should I wait until next February or so?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

You can use image on dormant or actively growing BermudaGrass.

[@castrick5877]

Can this work on st Augustine lawns ,?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Look for the one in the purple bottle label for that.

It’s not recommended but I have. It ran those weeds out fast 💨 ( BermudaGrass) but it took a sec for the lawn to recover from so much herbicide.

Hey, BYD. How well does the ikes weed killer work compared to spectracide? I saw it in the store, but I have never tried it. I think it would be cool if you did a video on it one day.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Spectracide covers more but the Ike’s worked faster on the listed weeds.

[@glennstewart3566]

Please help me get rid of this POA. What do you use for a combination grass yard. Fescue and Bermuda. It looks like absolute crap right now. I know it burns out in the heat but it is truly unsightly.

Don’t know of any products that will work on both without hurting the fescue 🤷🏾‍♂️

I'm going to try negate for 2024. I hear good things about it, so I'm going to give it a try. How did you like it?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Worked well

[@Nathan-ho7vr]

Do pre emergents work to prevent POA? In canada we dont really have access to herbicides. So it's round up or corn gluten pre emergent.

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

They help prevent the seeds from germination, won’t necessarily stop 100 percent of the POA weeds.

Thanks, so it's worth it to try it. 👍

Hey BYD, I’m Newnan, GA so I have Bermuda grass. I have this big tree in the front yard. HOA won’t allow me to cut down. What type of grass would you recommend I plant in the areas where the grass won’t? Should I do seed or sod?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Either or but it will need to be a sun shade mix seed. zoysia sod can tolerate shad e a little better also. Also depends on how much shade and tree roots. What subdivision is this?

@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thanks it’s Belmont Park, roots are visible. I sent a pic on IG a while back. I also have an area on the side of the house where there is little sunlight and moss grows. I’ll probably go with the sod

[@zeroibis]

You should get in writing that the HOA accepts all legal responsibility for the tree should it fall and cause injury or damage to a person or property. Otherwise I see it an uphill battle trying to force you to keep a tree that you want to cut down. The only exception would be that the tree is really old or something and marked for preservation as a result.

It looks nature. I just know how to drill into it but that would be obvious

[@Tranquility_Auto_Detailing]

I’ve got a question for you BYD. My neighbor has a nasty poa infestation and I’’ve got the same backpack sprayer as you that I’m willing to let him borrow and I was going to recommend the Image for his lawn. Looking at the label on the concentrate bottle it says to use .8 fluid ounces of concentrate per gallon of water and this only covers 200 square feet. At that rate it will take 6 full tanks to cover his yard (5000 square feet). In this video you put in the entire 32 oz bottle and filled the rest of the backpack sprayer with water and covered 8000 square feet which doesn’t quite match the label rate. Will this damage his Bermuda lawn or will it be fine as long as it’s thoroughly watered in after spraying?

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Not sure about that rate but I use 8 oz per 1k at 1/2 gallon.
