Default Killing crabgrass/fescue in my still dormant bermuda

I don't know your zone, but bermuda allows one to spot spray perennial
grasses with RoundUp without killing dormant bermuda. You are probably too
late this year. In zone 6 I find that late February is the latest spraying
time without leaving bare patches in the lawn. It's still possible to hit
the perennial grass patches but expect a month of bare spots before the
bermuda grows back.

The green patches at this time of year are not crabgrass. Crabgrass is an
annual which grows from seeds dropped from previous year's plants and
doesn't begin growing until warm weather. Check with your local extension
service about controlling annual grasses.



I have this grass, too, and the local nursery identified it as crab grass.
If it is not crab grass, what do you think it is?
