- Eliminate Poa Forever with Velocity PM! Velocity PM targets Poa Trivialis and Poa Annua in cool season lawns. Finally, a selective herbicide is now available to the DIY community to control this weed and not kill the rest of the lawn. In this video, we are basically reading the label to you. I cannot stress it enough on how important it is to read and follow ALL of the instructions in order to achieve a successful outcome. This is a very low use rate product making the margin for error very slim. I’ll discuss all the details here in this video with all of my references linked below. As we make more content on this herbicide, I’ll simply refer viewers back to this video if they want to know all the details.

It kills KBG and its too expensive
It initially seemed like a good solution but I’m confused. If you have to wait until temperatures are in the 70s to apply it and it takes 21-28 days to kill it by then it’s probably getting into the 80s or close too it when poa is going to die anyway. On top of that there is no pre-emergent control. Then you factor in the price and it just doesn’t seem to make sense in most applications.
For Poa annua alone, I would not recommend this product. But if you have Poa Trivialis (which is perennial), then you might want to consider it.
Thanks for posting, now i need to find it at a good deal
The problem we have with Poa in Massachusetts is that most summers don’t get consistently hot enough to kill off poa so this is definitely a good option. The downside is that I have KBG 😭. Time to convert to TTTF.
Same with Long Island. Plus all that effort we put into preserving our lawns helps the poa too lol.
3:35 - an attaboy for the Flyers fan! :)
💪
So if you have KBG, you spend $568 and hope it doesn't kill the grass? Lol. Great video and glad to see this come to the market. Let's hope the price drops significantly as competition comes.
It’s a huge gamble! LOL.
I have KBG in my TTTF and I was hoping this would kill it. So far no luck.
@@pauljones6321... How long has it been since the application? And what was your application amount?
Everyone’s financial situation is different, but if you bill your own time and labor involved in effective spot removal or total renovation, the cost of this product is definitely reasonable.
Totally agree. Thanks for sharing!
1.5mL/gall?! How do you even accurately measure that out? Does it come with a syringe?
Yes.
Great info Vince! This could be a game changer for us cool season people.
Great video Vince. For the cost, restrictions and time it takes to work I would rather just cut out any sections that appear and resod those spots. It would be cheaper and quicker on my small lawn
Totally agree. Thanks for watching!
Good job 👍🏻
You just did a full reno of this lawn 2 years ago and you have poa triv everywhere? was it there before? or was it in the seed?
Could have been the seed. Was 0.1% other crop seed. I also had it prior to the renovation and I never did a fall pre-emergent.
Any updates on use?
I applied it last week. Waiting to see some results. Hope to have a video out soon.
Why would you make a video without showing results? Is this an #ad?
Not sponsored. I paid for this with my own money. 1:00 explains why I’m not spraying now.
They said the previous formulation of Velocity would kill triv………did not work! I got my hands on some following directions to a T and it stressed the poa triv but came back following year. It didn’t kill my lawn, that was good but triv laughted at it. For me to try the new concoction they would have to give me 100% money back guarantee
So far, seems to be working here. Got one more application to complete. Will do a follow up video.
Great video! I have a pretty bad poa trivialis infiltration throughout my backyard and have tried and failed to kill it off with several other methods. I'm tempted to try velocity but I am worried because my lawn is primarily Kentucky bluegrass with fine fescue. If I did try it, I would probably spot treat the areas that are primarily poa. Do you have any KBG in your lawn and do you think it would be worthwhile for me to try it?
I don’t have KBG… all perennial rye in the front. Thing is, this stuff is so expensive, I’m not sure it’s worth the gamble only to find out it won’t work for you in the end.
Gotta get Poacure in lawns a lot safer and Better
That's not for the DIY community yet and it's very expensive. I use Ethofumesate ( 2-3 Fall apps appox. 3 weeks apart and 1 60 degree above spring app ) to control Poa and Trivialis pre and post preemergents.
LOL its $600....thats ridiculous. I get you can make a lot, but that upfront cost is crazy.
Totally agree with you
I really like it however i have the king of coolseason grass. 😅 KBG is my favorite grass for my area. I would be willing to purchase by the ounce if need be fornthos postage stamp lawn. 😂
TTTF is better. Especially better than any KY 31 blend
Really informative video as always. Thanks for sharing and putting in all the time to figure this stuff out!
So could it also kill bermuda in some cool seasons grasses?
I’m unsure if it will control actively growing bermuda, but it is labeled safe for use on dormant bermuda and contains instructions on how to use it for that scenario. I would not buy this if you are trying to control bermuda.
Hi. If I use Tenacity for post emergent Poa will it kill my good grass in a northern lawn? Thx.
Should be safe for cool season lawn types. You may notice some bleaching… and it lasts a long time (like a month or so). Note Tenacity may suppress Poa, but won’t kill it.
Awesome video! I wonder what if you burnt out the poa.
Hi, Vince. I've been using liquid Prodiomine. Does Barricade in pellet form do the same job? Once I run out of the liquid, I was thinking of switching to a Barricade pellet treatment doing twice a year in spring and fall to manage poa and crabgrass. Thoughts?
The granular prodiamine works too, just make sure it’s watered in well. Spring and fall are great times to use pre-emergent. Just note you won’t be able to overseed if you apply pre-emergent in the spring and fall.
You will get better coverage with spraying vs granular.
Seem a little snake oilish? To put a product down, when the targeted plant is beginning to weaken and die out itself.
Check out the 7:56 mark in the video where I explain who I think should consider this. If you have Poa Annua, it’s not worth it IMO. It will die in the summer heat. This is better used for poa trivialis which is a perennial weed.
Guess you have never dealt with Poa Triv and/or Bentgrass…
@@peterfreeman3317 I’m a serious green yarder that’s responsible for several yards, and yes I’ve dealt with Poa triv. A product like this is definitely for people who has a huge yard and don’t want to kill out thier lawn. I’ve killed out my backyard tons of times just because I like to experiment and what can tell you is my most successful weed free lawn was killing it out in the spring. If a person isn’t afraid to sacrifice a lawn for 2 months, they could have nearly perfect results by killing it out when the weeds and Poa are most aggressive.
So question.. or maybe I’m looking for your thoughts here. It’s supposed to get to 76 degrees today through Tuesday. I was going to put first app down Monday bc of the temps. But Then it’s going to drop down to low 60s and high 50s as a high thur-sun next week. Should I still put first app down this Monday when temps are in 70s? I’m afraid waiting until consistent temps will put me in mid May and that IMO is a bit late but not sure.. as another guy said triv starts to die late May and may not be able to see it as good.
Label said it works best between 70-85 degrees… but the working range is 60-90 degrees. This will be my first time using it, but I’ll be waiting a bit longer.
@@TheLawngineer I’m going to throw some down tomorrow. Will keep you posted on my results!
@@TheLawngineer I just down the first app all over the yard that had big spreads and patches. It was between 0900-1130. Forecast said sunny all day no rain and a pop up storm came. Just now and rained hard for like 10-15 mins around 3:30. Label says as long as it doesn’t rain within 4 hours of applying j should be good. Do you think all of the work I did is ruined and I should apply again or do you think I’ll be ok?
Sorry, I wouldn't know. This will be my first time using this product too. Did you spot spray or do a blanket app? If you are following the conversion schedule, then see how things do until your next scheduled app?
Thanks for explaining why it killed everything in my KBG lawn..like wtf!
Did this happen for real? What cultivar of KBG did you have?
@@TheLawngineer Yes this happened for real.. cultivar Mazama KBG
@@MadHadter jeez. Sorry this happened to you. How much area was lost? What’s your plan to repair?
You can't use it on zoyza :(
Well, lucky for you… you have a cheaper option. Checkout Negate 37WG.
$500+??? Bro. Come one man.
It’s crazy expensive
Too bad Zoysia is not on t he list.
The nufarm rep who interviewed with Olee Poole (Fescue Freak) said it’s fine for zoysia just not sufficiently tested to make the label.
Where can we buy it??? 🤷🏻♂️
Seems like it’s sold out everywhere. I left a few links in the video description. I’m told another batch is being made and should be available by May. I’d recommend signing up for email notifications when they are back in stock any buy then. To put into perspective… Heritage had an allotment of only 48 bottles to sell and they were all sold in a few hours.
I like the Philadelphia Flyers hat, are you in the Philadelphia Pennsylvania area?
Thanks! I’m in Moorestown, NJ. Previously lived in Havertown, PA.
You are so very welcome @@TheLawngineer We bought a new build and moved from Aston Delaware County to Dover York County. The builder has tried three times to get a lawn established but failed with cheap contractors mix. I researched and went with the GCI TTTF Spreader Elite. Cannot wait to get started on our lawn care journey.
It doesn't work on bluegrass lawns? 😢
You have to test it to see if it will have an impact on your cultivar(s) of KBG.
Tough proposition to spend $500+ just to determine if it even works.
Where do you get it?
Heritage
Thanks for this helpful video! In terms of Oz to gallon I see Nufarm does say 1.5ML per Oz if spot spraying. But.. I’m getting mixed answers in terms of Oz to gallon if let’s say I have a 20 gallon towable sprayer. What’s the Oz to gallon for the low rate in general? 0.01-0.02 Oz? Or what Nufarm said on their literature: 1.5 ML = 0.05 Oz per gallon? Or is that too high for a tow behind sprayer?
NuFarm says 1.5 ml per gallon of water for spot treatments in a small handheld or backpack sprayer. If you have a tow behind sprayer, I’m assuming you have a lot of land. In that case, think in terms of ounces per acre and follow the conversion rates on the label and it’s a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre.
@@TheLawngineer thanks! Yeah I have about an acre but only 3/4 of that is probably grass. I’m going to play it safe. I did the math 14375/43500 sqft is about 0.33 x 0.75 is 0.245 gallons for a 25 gallon sprayer. So I’m going to use about 0.01 per gallon max in my tow sprayer and see what that does. Better to be safe than smoke it all by accident right? Also I’ll be doing the slow program so I don’t over apply. High temps should reach 70 by next week here in Maryland so I’ll probably spray the first app then.
Where is this available in PA?
Reach out to Fisher and Son. As of yesterday, they had 4 bottles left. Call Brandon at +16092761939
$533 for that bottle
It’s insane
Guh
I've got KY Blue so I'm out but the price isn't bad if you have a lot of POA!!
