    If you’re asking for help with identifying a weed and/or type of grass, please include close-up photos showing as much detail as possible.

    For grasses, it is especially important to get close photos from multiple angles. It is rarely possible to identify a grass from more than a few inches away. In order to get accurate identifications, the more features of the grass you show the more likely you are to get an accurate identification. Features such as, [ligules](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/180.png.jpg?itok=D5yNs0l8) (which can be hairy, absent entirely, or membranous (papery) like the photo), [auricles](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/Grasses%20at%20a%20Glance%20Blog%20Pictures.png.jpg?itok=PLrWX4q-), any hairs present, roots, stems, and any present seed heads. General location can also be helpful.

    Pull ONE shopt and get pictures of that.

    [This page from MSU](https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/grass-photography-tips-for-id-help-us-help-you) has helpful tips on how to take pictures of grasses for the purposes of identification.

    Keeled leaves and folded vernation. No auricles. Distinct midvein. rhizomes.

    Poa annua or Kentucky bluegrass.

    Its pretty dark for poa annua, but that doesn’t necessarily rule it out.

  3. Poa annua. Poa constrictor can work okay ish if applied correctly. Tenacity can act as a suppressant but not gonna really solve your problem.

    Can round it up too but what you really need is to establish good turf density as it’s not very competitive and doesn’t do well with root competition.

    If there are any environmental issues that weakens your turf in an area, you’ll want to address those otherwise it can be a constant battle
