Applied it last month and was weed free. It recently rained 2.4 inches last week and it since then I have noticed crabgrass popping up.

Is it possible it can wash away after a heavy rain? I'm coming up on my Fall application in the next 3 or 4 weeks (late September) but was curious if i should wait or apply now?

Also, I'm mowing tomorrow morning and smcurious if I should bag?

Thanks!

I doubt it got washed away with all the rain. Any PreM isn't going to be 100% effective and some weeds will get through. Is it only in one spot or wide spread over the whole lawn?

Unless the weed has gone to seed I don't see any reason you "need" to bag the clippings unless you just want a cleaner appearance after you mow.

I would say it is in an area of 20ftx10ft. I had major issues with this particular area about 6 weeks ago. I sprayed Prodaimine, at .35oz as recommended in a previous post, and had 0 issues up until this rain we had.

Although the weeds are a barely producing seed heads which is strange because these weed stems are small and I have never seen crabgrass seeds from a stem this short.

I'll probably play it safe and bag the backyard a few times until I get them under control. The question remains on if I should apply the .41oz/1k I have remaining for the year now, or wait until the Fall application window?

On a side note, I do not have many weeds in the fall/winter. The only ones I can remember from our first Fall in the house last year was crabgrass, but I wasn't dedicated to my lawn as I am now.

Why not just kill the weeds that are there and let the bermuda fill in and choke them out?
