Is this crabgrass or dallisgrass?
I had a horrible crabgrass infestation last year but applied pre-emergent this year. It did not include dallisgrass control.
Will you please help me identify this weed?

Hi Angela,
I cannot tell from the photos. Crabgrass is annual and dies each year. It is just begining to germinate now. If you want to submit a sample to your county office with roots in soil we can identify the grass. Most homeowner grass killers will kill all grasses so hand digging may be the best option. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you so much for the reply. I had been afraid I had Dallisgrass, but these have gone to seed and they are not dallisgrass...thankfully.
Again, thank you for being a resource.
