I want to kill bermuda, but have zoysia as main grass. What say you?

Sorry, I can not answer that. I have only used this on tall fescus, And so far my results are 50/50 on controlling bermuda. This is a tough weed.!

Well this stuff will kill out bermuda grass. I don't know if it will hurt zoysia grass i have fescue grass and it didn't hurt it. Don't try and kill out your Bermuda until first of Spring. You also need to wait a good month before raking it and sew with your zoysia. Is zoysia a very hardie grass?

zoysia is a hybrid. I suggest getting small amount and do a test of a small spot. zoysia is salt tolerant and it may be ok, but I would spot check before using turflon ester over the whole yard. D. Rogers

I suspect it will be bad news. I would test it for at least a month. (It is pretty slow acting.)

I don't plant rye in winter, don't waste my time with it....but I do have bermuda and you MUST use a reel mower. I love my great states. I mow at 0.5 inches. Do some research on how to care for bermuda. Read the bermuda bible. Bermuda gets more dense when cut lower, it changes how the grass blooms and grows. You can have close to a golf course like yard with a reel mower. Golf courses use them and for their greens they use extremely sophisticated reel mowers with electronically leveling blades and many many blades. Reels are awesome.

Yes, I have the same Tall Fesque grass and use Ornamec on it. Follow the directions precisely and plan on lots of patience and multiple sprayings. The difference between this and Turflon is a matter of "stunting the growth and spread" vs attempting to kill the Bermuda altogether (Ornamec). Do not be afraid to go to conc'd Roundup if all else fails and replant. But if you do take this path, you need to spray the area with the 40% concentrate, kill the Bermuda, water the dead Bermuda, until is shows up again in exactly the same place, and repeat this until you cannot get any Bermuda to reappear in the "dead" area that you sprayed. I have had to do 10,000 sq ft by this latter method and it is not fun. Hope this helps.

i wouldn't use it on zoysia; it's designed to control grasses similar to zoysia. Check the label for more info: http://www.syngentaprofessionalproducts.com/pdf/labels/SCP1084AL1A1203.pdf

I have marathon grass and it did not kill the grass. It was somewhat effective in killing the oxalis but it never killed it completely.

I pulled my grass out first. Then I redid it with Wooly Thyme, mother of thyme and patched of Elfin Thyme. Currently I am doing my side with Aubritea and creeping Veronica speedwell color tidal pool but I had to pull my grass first

You can but seems to be overkill. If u have Crabgrass problem then just use said product, if general control needed just use the weed and feed.

Ornamec kills Bermuda grass in other lawn grasses If you are going to kill everything why not use roundup and wait 2 weeks and play the garden?Much cheaper and round up gets everything

I'd trust the label. I had bermuda grass in a flower garden. I sprayed liberally from 1" or 2" and no plants were harmed save the bermuda grass. I sprayed in the Fall to good effect; 90% of the Bermuda grass was gone come Spring.

I'm not positive about zoysia. I have St Augustine, which is less hardy than zoysia, and suffered no ill effects from spraying. I spot spray only. It takes a while to get nut grass under control.

I have Bermuda so I'm not 100% certain. The bottle does say cool and warm season grasses.

YES if there is enough direct contact. I have had no issue with spraying around bushes flowers etc, but if you do hit them with this accidentally, hose off with water thoroughly and hope for the best. Multiple applications on the Bermuda will be needed to keep it in check.

Probably not - this is a high-end professional spray and designed to kill brush, but would probably easily erase your grassy weeds and your zoysia!

Yes, you can plant over an existing lawn, but it takes longer to be the low maintenance grass of straight NoMowGrass. It can take a while for NoMowGrass to crowd down existing lawn grasses, depending on the type of grass you had. And, as with any new grass planted, you will need to stay off the lawn as much as possible for a few weeks while the NoMowGrass develops its root system.

Not sure about palmetto palms. But this stuff kills anything BUT grass. Great Stuff.

We are using for cutting golf green grass we bought and have grown for a putting green. It works well for that. Honestly not sure what zoysia grass is.

We gave up on the Dichondra. We're in North Georgia backing up to a wooded gully. I think we're zone 7. The Dichondra grows very well in the spring and fall. It does OK during the winter unless the temps get extremely cold -- 8 degrees -- like they did last year. Then it browns out. The problem is that during the hot, wet, humid summer it's overrun by crabgrass and the bermuda grass. Weed & Feed will kill the Dichondra. We tried Grass B Gone. It killed the grass but only for awhile. The Dichondra browned out from the Grass B Gone. It's very pretty if you can get it to do well in a sunny spot. We couldn't keep it going and it's too much trouble to overseed all the time. Hope this helps?
