    Need weed killer recommendations

    Need a concentrated weed killer that is safe for bermuda. I mainly have Poa Annua but there are other weeds mixed in. I fertilized with a slow release that has a weed killer in it. I'm assuming that it is a pre-emergent and the spray is post emergent. I will be mixing it and using it in a towable sprayer.

    Also, I need to spread bermuda seed in some areas. How long after I spray do I need to wait before I can seed?

    Grazon Next HL is what we spray on costal bermuda. Gets a a great kill on weeds.

      Depends on what you are trying to kill. 24D will take care of a lot.

        I believe that this requires an applicators license to purchase, doesn’t it?

          I don’t think it’s restricted use. I’m not sure though, I have a Certified applicator license though so I generally don’t bother worrying about it. Quite a few people around me spray it and I know they don’t have any kind of license so I’m not sure.

              I should have been more specific. We have a tiff bermuda around the house and costal in the pastures. Is Grazon safe for Tiff?

                You can buy 2-4D in quart container without a license

                  I used 24d and Pastora on my tiff Bermuda this year and it knocked out all weeds... broadleaves and grasses. The only thing left is Bermuda.

                  Pastora is pretty steep but it's worth it. Don't get discouraged, it takes about 2 weeks for grasses to look like anything happened to them. It even knocked out KR Bluestem which roundup wouldn't even kill.

                  Also, get the 24d concentrate, not the stuff from the lawn section. It should be 30+%.

                    MSMA is good on grassy weeds - poa, dallis grass, etc but wont harm bermuda.

                      Where did you buy it?

                        That Poa Annua is hard to kill, I sprayed 24D on it and it doesn’t touch it.
                        I’m not sure if anything will kill other than roundup, pre emergent and post emergent.

                          Got my 2 4-d off Amazon.

                          It works... but I think I got my mix a little strong and the places I sprayed it killed everything. I mean everything. I have brown spots everywhere in my yard

                            Yikes, mixed it HOT!

                            For broadleaf mixed in with Bermuda, 2 4-D is what I use and have had really good luck with it. Definitely be careful not to overdo it!

                              Tractor Supply in the farming section not the lawn section. It's a little 5oz bottle that cost a little over $100 but covers 5 acres.

                              BTW, it knocked out Poa Annua also.
