Ok so i have a mild/medium amount of poa annua. i am not in the position to buy Celsius to kill it at this time. My question is, should i pull the poa annua up by hand or should i just let the heat kill it off?

i ask this because as you probably know it leaves a bare spot on the ground and i dont want to be doing more harm then good.

Any advise would be much appreciated. I live in Oklahoma and have bermuda grass.

While annoying now, it's life is near the end....it'll die in the heat.

Unless it's an all day chore, I'd just pull it. As long as it's still around, it's going to be robbing the bermuda of water, sunlight, and nutrients. Fwiw, Celsius will not do anything to Poa.

The summer heat will kill it. Use that as motivation to get pre emergent down in the fall.

I'm no bermuda expert (it's a vexatious weed to me ) but I thought the conventional wisdom is to blitz the bermuda with fert throughout the growing season and it spreads like a . . . weed.

That would tell me to pull it to open up the canopy for the bermuda to spread into, no?

pull what you can to allow the grass around it to get more sun, water and nutrients. but overall it'll die soon. make sure you put down a pre emergent in the fall though, so it doesn't come back.
