Why can’t I apply weed control just once?
Poa Annua
Unfortunately, with each new season of the year new weeds will germinate. For instance, Poa Annua is a weed that will germinate in the fall and winter, but needs to be treated with a pre-emergent application in late summer. Crabgrass germinates in spring and summer and it needs a pre-emergent application in late winter. These are just a few examples of weeds that germinate in different seasons.
