Annual Bluegrass Seedheads Recent research has shown fall is the time to start controlling next spring’s annual bluegrass seedheads since seedhead formation is initiated in fall under shorter days and cooler temperatures. Applications of Proxy ® in late fall plus spring improve control and consistency of control over the traditional spring-only applications.

Every two weeks after the first spring application until seedheads end or yearly max is reached (reserve 5 oz/1000 for fall)
PRO TIP: In areas with intense annual bluegrass seedheads, superintendents will often make the fall and spring application of Proxy ® at 5 oz./1000 sq. ft. and then include 2.5 oz./1000 of Proxy every two weeks until seedheads cease. Like with nitrogen, preemergence herbicides, and other turf-applied products, Proxy is also highly effective with low rates at frequent intervals.
