Crabgrass germinates when soil temperatures average 55°F and is best controlled with the preemeregnce herbicides Ronstar ® or Specticle ® . (Bayer)
Goosegrass germinates usually a couple of weeks later than crabgrass. Ronstar ® is an industry standard for goosegrass control, plus it allows sprigging into an application because it is absorbed by the shoots and not roots. (Bayer)
