What kind of grass is this and how do I kill it?

I get that up here every now and then. I just grab it and put it up.

Looks like quackgrass. If it's not too widespread pull it up from the root when the soil is damp. If not you'll have to use a post emergent. I'm just a weekend gardener so TIFWIW.

Crab grass. Like others said, I pull it a day or two after a rain.

It is definitely not crabgrass

Pull it up. It has a massive root system that doesn't die using Round up. I use a hoe and itvyankscrightvoutvif the ground, leaving a hole that you need to fill in.

As others have said, Dallisgrass.

In a Bermuda lawn, MSMA (works even better if you add Certainty in the solution).

In St Aug/Centipede, Celsius WG.

Or spot spray with Roundup/dig it up.

The seed heads provide the best way to identify Crabgrass and Dallisgrass.

Dallisgrass seed head on left and Crabgrass seed head on right.

All of that aside I'll defer to bootlegger everytime.

The identification between dallisgrass and crabgrass is kind of irrelevant for the OP. Your best bet is to dig it up and throw it in the trash can. Fill the holes with a decent soil and watch for any sprigs to return.

hey boot, does roundup transfer through the roots for dallis/crabgrass?

Reason i ask, last year i spray several spots with just a very small amount of roundup and there was no wind. a week later, the dead spot is 3 ft in diameter.
