Eliminate Poa Forever with Velocity PM! Velocity PM targets Poa Trivialis and Poa Annua in cool season lawns. Finally, a selective herbicide is now available to the DIY community to control this weed and not kill the rest of the lawn. In this video, we are basically reading the label to you. I cannot stress it enough on how important it is to read and follow ALL of the instructions in order to achieve a successful outcome. This is a very low use rate product making the margin for error very slim. I’ll discuss all the details here in this video with all of my references linked below. As we make more content on this herbicide, I’ll simply refer viewers back to this video if they want to know all the details.
Here are some links to literature that might be helpful.

The problem we have with Poa in Massachusetts is that most summers don’t get consistently hot enough to kill off poa so this is definitely a good option. The downside is that I have KBG 😭. Time to convert to TTTF.

@BenNawrath Месяц назад

Same with Long Island. Plus all that effort we put into preserving our lawns helps the poa too lol.

@sj7601 2 месяца назад

So if you have KBG, you spend $568 and hope it doesn't kill the grass? Lol. Great video and glad to see this come to the market. Let's hope the price drops significantly as competition comes.

@all4925 2 месяца назад

It initially seemed like a good solution but I’m confused. If you have to wait until temperatures are in the 70s to apply it and it takes 21-28 days to kill it by then it’s probably getting into the 80s or close too it when poa is going to die anyway. On top of that there is no pre-emergent control. Then you factor in the price and it just doesn’t seem to make sense in most applications.

@TheLawngineer 2 месяца назад

For Poa annua alone, I would not recommend this product. But if you have Poa Trivialis (which is perennial), then you might want to consider it.

@damonm7541 Месяц назад

Everyone’s financial situation is different, but if you bill your own time and labor involved in effective spot removal or total renovation, the cost of this product is definitely reasonable.

@TheLawngineer Месяц назад

Totally agree. Thanks for sharing!

@jpzsports 2 месяца назад

Great video! I have a pretty bad poa trivialis infiltration throughout my backyard and have tried and failed to kill it off with several other methods. I'm tempted to try velocity but I am worried because my lawn is primarily Kentucky bluegrass with fine fescue. If I did try it, I would probably spot treat the areas that are primarily poa. Do you have any KBG in your lawn and do you think it would be worthwhile for me to try it?

@TheLawngineer 2 месяца назад

I don’t have KBG… all perennial rye in the front. Thing is, this stuff is so expensive, I’m not sure it’s worth the gamble only to find out it won’t work for you in the end.

@ZupE891 2 месяца назад

You just did a full reno of this lawn 2 years ago and you have poa triv everywhere? was it there before? or was it in the seed?

@TheLawngineer 2 месяца назад

Could have been the seed. Was 0.1% other crop seed. I also had it prior to the renovation and I never did a fall pre-emergent.

You are so very welcome @@TheLawngineer We bought a new build and moved from Aston Delaware County to Dover York County.

Cannot wait to get started on our lawn care journey.

@jameswidmer6972 2 месяца назад

Hi, Vince. I've been using liquid Prodiomine. Does Barricade in pellet form do the same job? Once I run out of the liquid, I was thinking of switching to a Barricade pellet treatment doing twice a year in spring and fall to manage poa and crabgrass. Thoughts?

@TheLawngineer 2 месяца назад

The granular prodiamine works too, just make sure it’s watered in well. Spring and fall are great times to use pre-emergent. Just note you won’t be able to overseed if you apply pre-emergent in the spring and fall.

@Midtnfishing937 Месяц назад

You will get better coverage with spraying vs granular.

@tashrayt4398 2 месяца назад

Thanks for this helpful video! In terms of Oz to gallon I see Nufarm does say 1.5ML per Oz if spot spraying. But.. I’m getting mixed answers in terms of Oz to gallon if let’s say I have a 20 gallon towable sprayer. What’s the Oz to gallon for the low rate in general? 0.01-0.02 Oz? Or what Nufarm said on their literature: 1.5 ML = 0.05 Oz per gallon? Or is that too high for a tow behind sprayer?

@TheLawngineer 2 месяца назад

NuFarm says 1.5 ml per gallon of water for spot treatments in a small handheld or backpack sprayer. If you have a tow behind sprayer, I’m assuming you have a lot of land. In that case, think in terms of ounces per acre and follow the conversion rates on the label and it’s a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre.

@tashrayt4398 2 месяца назад

@@TheLawngineer thanks! Yeah I have about an acre but only 3/4 of that is probably grass. I’m going to play it safe. I did the math 14375/43500 sqft is about 0.33 x 0.75 is 0.245 gallons for a 25 gallon sprayer. So I’m going to use about 0.01 per gallon max in my tow sprayer and see what that does. Better to be safe than smoke it all by accident right? Also I’ll be doing the slow program so I don’t over apply. High temps should reach 70 by next week here in Maryland so I’ll probably spray the first app then.

@jameswidmer6972 Месяц назад

Hi. If I use Tenacity for post emergent Poa will it kill my good grass in a northern lawn? Thx.

@TheLawngineer Месяц назад

Should be safe for cool season lawn types. You may notice some bleaching… and it lasts a long time (like a month or so). Note Tenacity may suppress Poa, but won’t kill it.

@whereisthedollar Месяц назад

That's not for the DIY community yet and it's very expensive. I use Ethofumesate ( 2-3 Fall apps appox. 3 weeks apart and 1 60 degree above spring app ) to control Poa and Trivialis pre and post preemergents.

@tashrayt4398 2 месяца назад

So question.. or maybe I’m looking for your thoughts here. It’s supposed to get to 76 degrees today through Tuesday. I was going to put first app down Monday bc of the temps. But Then it’s going to drop down to low 60s and high 50s as a high thur-sun next week. Should I still put first app down this Monday when temps are in 70s? I’m afraid waiting until consistent temps will put me in mid May and that IMO is a bit late but not sure.. as another guy said triv starts to die late May and may not be able to see it as good.

@TheLawngineer 2 месяца назад

Label said it works best between 70-85 degrees… but the working range is 60-90 degrees. This will be my first time using it, but I’ll be waiting a bit longer.

Just now and rained hard for like 10-15 mins around 3:30. Label says as long as it doesn’t rain within 4 hours of applying j should be good.

Check out the 7:56 mark in the video where I explain who I think should consider this. If you have Poa Annua, it’s not worth it IMO. It will die in the summer heat. This is better used for poa trivialis which is a perennial weed.

@twosawyers 2 месяца назад

@@peterfreeman3317 I’m a serious green yarder that’s responsible for several yards, and yes I’ve dealt with Poa triv. A product like this is definitely for people who has a huge yard and don’t want to kill out thier lawn. I’ve killed out my backyard tons of times just because I like to experiment and what can tell you is my most successful weed free lawn was killing it out in the spring. If a person isn’t afraid to sacrifice a lawn for 2 months, they could have nearly perfect results by killing it out when the weeds and Poa are most aggressive.
