My neighbors Bermuda is creeping into my Fescue. Will Tenacity kill the Bermuda if applied while the Bermuda is active?

Bermuda grass if not specified in the list that Tenacity is effective on! Works on just about everything but Bermuda Grass is NOT mentioned!

have tried this 2x. did not kill entire yard, seeds took temporarily. the grass later died or diapeared & the weeds came back or a bald spot appeared. in other sections of yard had almost 1/2 yard cleared, all that hapened after temp.growth was the ST AUGUSTINE & BERMUDA pushed out new grass. my guess is that your yard has 2 be as bald as the MOON!

It will definitely kill the Bermuda grass, but I'm not sure about the irises. I know that it killed my calla lilies but did ok on the azaleas and my other trees.

Try Tenacity or Certainty. Make sure you read the labels, better yet call a professional before you torch your lawn.

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?

It states on the package the product will defoliate any plant. As for actually "killing" the grass, roots and all, I would suspect not. It'll certainly damage the turf, and likely kill patches. But I don't know if I would rely on it to kill an area of turn in preparation for a planting bed, or something of that nature. By the same token, spraying weeds within your lawn will certainly result in turf loss in the areas sprayed.

I only used on lawn so sorry I can't answer this question. It did not harm my Tifblair Centipede or St. Augustine grass. It did get rid of Bahia and wild burmuda.

The Bayer Advanced it is my understanding specifically for the treatment of lawn fungus. We are very pleased with the results in treating our lawn fungus. I might use a pre-emergent in the spring for the tall fescue. I put down my pre-emergent just as my forsythia has that yellow glow, but before the flowers actually come out. over the years that timing has worked well. it won't work well the first year, as it has already seeded, the second year works great. hope this was helpful.....

Sorry, I don't know. I do know that when you use potting/grading soil it already has fertilizer mixed in. I have seen of some of the TV shows they put fertilizer down when lay sod. There is no need to use this which includes week killer. The weeds have to be present and damp so the killer will stick to the weed and penetrate the leaf. I really think it would not do any good till the grass has been established. You should just use fertilizer, but if you already have the Turf Builder, I would try it.

I don't remember seeing a temp warning but it did discolor the Bermuda. but I most likely applied it too heavily. at the time it was mid 80's here in tx. I put some on my neighbor's Bermuda and there was less discoloration but they have a different variety. I recommend a weaker dose and cut back on water since sedges like water. also follow the " Bermuda bible" and your Bermuda will look like carpet

Yes! However, dichondra is likely to have an insect that eats out the new buds; if so, the lawn I had was no longer competitive to weeds and grasses such as bermuda. That was 30 years ago.

I'm sorry, but don't know. It turned my Bermuda grass brown. I won't use it again.

Probably so. You would have to spot test it. I do have some bermudagrass that has invaded some of my liriope borders. I was going to do a test to see if it would kill that or not. Overall product is working great after 2 applications. The woody part of the Bermuda grass is an off green color but the grass blades are all brown now.

No. I purchased for my lawn, and when I reviewed the application instructions found out it is only for ornamental areas. I contacted the seller to return because of this, and they said it was also for yards and that I could contact Dow to verify. I contacted Dow and was told it is only for ornamentals, and that it is illegal to apply to lawns and could kill them. I returned the product.

It comes with a very small amount of the surfactent but I recommend you get the larger bottle, available on Amazon. It is concentrated and I usually make it in a 2 quart sprayer and spot spray areas, I haven't need to do a whole yard. Be sure to follow the directions on the bottle. Your area will brown out, even other grasses, but mine have usually come back after awhile, while the bermuda dies. I usually throw out some grass seed as soon as I can (weather permitting) just to help fill in. Also, don't use it when it is extremely hot outside - I think it recommends using it when temps are in the 70s or so, in order to prevent damage to other grasses. Good luck!

I have sprayed twice at the end of this season,,30 days between sprays,,so far the bermuda grass is dead.The tall fescue has been completely unaffected.I will spray again in the spring,as directions call for..I have tried many products trying to kill the much unwanted bermuda,so far the Ornamec has worked.Directions state that it usually takes 2 seasons to completely kill the devil grass..So far so good!!

Hi. Like for all weeds that tenacity affects, it does so by interfering with the production of chlorophyll. Bent grass will start turning white (from lack of the green chlorophyll) after 7-10 days. It will die out two to three weeks after that. You may need a second application, but wait at least 2-3 weeks after initial application.
