Don’t forget knotweed germinates before crabgrass.
So if you see germinating seedlings, it is probably knotweed.
Remember that knotweed is a summer annual broad-leaved weed.
It germinates fairly early in the spring … earlier than crabgrass.
At this time of year, people are concerned are concerned about missing the opportunity to get their pre-emergent herbicide down because they see all these young seedlings, assuming they are crabgrass.
Most of the time, they are knotweed.
Look closely at the leaves.
When it germinates, knotweed has two small leaves like grass leaves, but shortly after germination, the leaves begin to get wider and take on that normal broad-leaved weed shape.
A pre-emergent herbicide is not normally recommended for controlling knotweed.
It is best to try and alleviate compaction, reduce traffic, and increase the density of turf by seeding and fertilization, as well as use a post-emergent broad-leaved chemical to control it after it is done germinating.
Nonetheless, crabgrass itself will be germinating very very soon.

WE SPEAK THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE !
We are the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that conspire to destroy the Green space and other industries ( NORAHG ). As a non-profit and independent organization, we are environmentalists who are dedicated to reporting about truth-challenged pesticide-hating fanatжcs ( HUJE ) who conspire to destroy businesses that are dependent on the use of safe and effective conventional pest control products. We also report on the work of several highly-rated leading experts who have recognized expertise, training, and background in matters concerning pest control products, and who promote environmental realism and pesticide truths. http://wp.me/p1jq40-8DV
NORAHG is the sworn enemy of lying, pompous, smug, uneducated, & pesticide-hating enviro-fanatжcs. Overwhelming scientific evidence clearly demonstrates that pest control products are scientifically-safe, and will not cause harm to children, adults, animals, or the environment. http://wp.me/p1jq40-7HR http://wp.me/P1jq40-2ha http://wp.me/p1jq40-6Q6 http://wp.me/p1jq40-5ni
Not surprisingly, enviro-fanatжcs have demonstrated that they are incapable of processing overwhelming scientific evidence. Should we trust these fanatжcs, who conveniently ignore scientific evidence, and attempt to impose their politicized-doctrines and twisted life-style choices against our society ?!?!
NORAHG was the brainchild of Mr William H Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder. We dare to defy the pesticide-hating fanatжcs by exploring the whole truth from an independent perspective on The Pesticide Truths Web-Site ... https://pesticidetruths.com/
With a Conservative victory in the 2019 Canadian Federal Election, there will be NO NATIONAL PROHIBITION against pest control products.
