Is there anything I can use to get rid of POA annual? I have an acre of tall fescue. Thank you
Poa Annua can be tricky. It is best to use a two-step approach with both pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide.
We recommend Barricade 4FL and Pendulum 2G for pre-emergents.
There are several post-emergent herbicides that can help with Poa Annua. Revolver and Atrazine are two ones that we recommend, but there are many on the market.
As always, please read the manufacturer's label before purchasing and using.

Will it kill torpedo grass.
There are many claims that Tenacity will work on torpedo grass, but since it is not labeled for control of it, we do not recommend it. Drive XLR8 is labeled for control of torpedo grass and is a great product.

Should I spray before seeding or wait till fescue comes up and then spray
The label for Tenacity gives some instructions on applying to new lawns, this information can be found on page 4 of the label. It states:
"New Seedings/New Lawn Establishment – Apply Tenacity at 5-8 fl oz per
acre (0.156-0.25 lb ai/A) in at least 30 gallons of water per acre prior to seeding or post seeding of tolerant turfgrass species listed on this label, except
fine fescue. Tenacity may reduce density of fine fescue seedings. Tenacity can
be used on grass seed blends that contain less than 20% by weight of hard
or fine fescue. Tenacity will control many monocot and dicot weeds that
compete with and slow the establishment of the turfgrass stands. Apply at
grass seeding or close to seeding for best performance. Avoid spraying on
newly germinated turfgrass plants. Wait until the newly germinated turf
has been mowed two times or four weeks after emergence (whichever is
longer) before making a postemergence application."
There are also some instructions on what amounts of Tenacity are tested to be safe on fescue grasses, which can be found on page 3.
