Post Emergent Weed Killers
Posted on 2/23/18 at 10:05 am

The family who we bought our house from apparently gave zero shits about their lawn. I am trying to improve the lawn by well, making it a lawn.
We live in suburban Atlanta, USDA zone 7b/8a/
The "lawn" is bermuda grass, but mostly covered by moss, clover, poa annua, and crabgrass. I have laid an iron based moss killer, but need a killer post emergent for the broadleafs.
I'll lay a weed and feed by May once I've gotten the buk of the weeds beaten down. I'm hoping the bermuda grass will start to take over once we have killed the weeds. If not I'll over seed this fall.
I went to our local nursery and they recommended the house brand product, but wanted to see if the Outdoor Board had something they preferred.

Will prevent most grasses from coming up and is very concentrated
Most of the emerge grasses like poa will die when it gets warm and since they are annuals this stuff will keep them from coming back.
The crabgrass is an annual too so get this down before it warms anymore to keep it from coming in this spring.

2-4d now to kill your winter broadleafs. Msma in early May when crabgrass starts growing

Thanks for the recommendation, unfortunately our weeds have already made themselves quite established and comfortable. Short of an Agent Orange application, I need something that will destroy their root base and send them to hell where they belong.

Well crabgrass is an annual and should not be growing this time of year. Now is the time to use a pre-emergant to keep it from growing this spring.
The poa that is up will die when it gets hot. The pre-emergant will keep any other plant seed from germinating this spring.

im in the Raleigh area and having similar problems. i did apply a pre emergent in late January, but crabgrass and bluegrass came up still. i applied image earlier this week and will post if it makes a difference.

Relax. If you have bermuda it will come when temps warm up. The pop annua will die with warm temps. Spray MSMA and it will kill most all grasses other than bermuda.

2,4-D = Agent orange

Luckily you can use msma on Bermuda

Crab grass is alive and well in my yard right !! And I put out the pre-emergent from scott’s

Do you have a sprayer? Prodiamine 75wdg pre-emerge (generic barricade) for crabgrass. Apply by the first week of March then re-apply before the end of May.
2,4,D now and later for everything else.
In my experience msma is a good hot weather post emerge for most weeds but you have to run it really hot to put a dent in crabgrass and even then it typically just pisses it off. I never really put a dent in crabgrass until I used prodiamine and then spot sprayed with a hot mix of msma in the summer.

When temps get over 90 MSMA will kill the crap out of weeds.
I had a house 10 years or so ago that when I bought it had a very neglected yard. Probably the worst in the neighborhood. I installed a sprinkler system, fertilized it and then when temp got up started spraying the msma. I sprayed the whole yard the first time and about half the yard died (all weeds and some centipede). There were spots that had native Bermuda and I then after about 6-8 weeks I fertilized it again and would hit the problem spots with some more msma. By the end of the summer it was one of the nicest yards on my street.
