I have a light colored grass/weed taking over my yard. Is there someone that can tell me what I can do about this? I use Earl Mays fertilizer 6 step program and have dark green grass. So this light colored grass is an eyesore. Please tell me there is something that will kill this? I have attached a few photos as well. Thanks in advance for your help!

Expert Response
The yellow green grass in the lawn cannot be identified from the photographs. Key identification features are not visible in the photos. A plant specimen is needed for identification.
If you wish to submit a plant specimen, dig up a clump of the grass (including the roots), carefully shake off the soil, wrap it in dry paper toweling, place it in a plastic bag, and mail it to Horticulture Extension, 2206 Osborn Drive, Ames, Iowa 50011.
