WINTER GRASS – POA ANNUA – CAN BE DEVASTATING TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL GREEN LAWN.
During the winter months cooler weather winter grass takes advantage of your lawn and moves into those susceptible areas. As it looks similar to lawn sometimes it can be undetected until summer, when it dies back in the hot weather leaving large brown spots all through your lawn.
Poa Annua is a small, soft tufted annual grass which flowers from August through to October in Western Australia’s climate. It’s seeds can lay dormant in the soil for several years at a time. It is a very hardy plant. Even cutting short the seed stalk won’t help as this plant still has the ability to seed!
Late March through May is the perfect time to treat for winter grass. Envirapest can treat your lawns for poa annua with a specialised herbicide specifically for this plant. The herbicide we use is a selective pre-emergent herbicide, meaning not only does it kill winter grass but it even prevents the plant from being able to sprout.
