Made the mistake of spraying weeds that were growing in DORMANT Bermuda grass in the wintertime with Glyphosate and in the following Spring, had a huge, completely dead spot in the middle of my lawn. It took almost all the next summer to get that spot to fill back in with grass. Bermuda Grass Central KNOWS what he's talking about.👍
Thanks for the compliment.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral Been following your channel and taking your advice and using your tips for quite awhile now and everything you suggest, teach and advise is always SPOT ON when I follow your directions for specific problems. Thank YOU, for providing us this channel!😃👍🏼
Use Quinclorac and tenacity w/ methylated seed oil with some type of liquid Fertilizer, works like a charm. Heavy rates, 3 weeks apart.
@@williamjonson6845 Quincloac will not kill dallisgrass, it might, and I do mean might stun it for a day or 2, but it's not labeled for dallisgrass and it will not kill it., period! If you're having success with Quincloac, then you have crabgrass and thank you lucky stars that's all it is.
Yes he does this channel is a gold mine
The worst thing... is having a neighbor with a yard full of Dallisgrass. You are never rid of it.
Had to get some MSMA to knock out my dallis grass, but I had enough left over to help out my neighbors so it wouldn't spread again. Crush thy neighbor by helping thy neighbor 🤣
Amen
@@tylerharris1085 same here, MSM8 is the only thing that fries it to the root.
@@tylerharris1085 that's why I never use the edge guard on my spreader--try to treat deep into my neighbor's yard
@@tylerharris1085 I did the same thing. I sprayed my neighbors lawn with the MSMA and he was like what happened to my weeds? I said he could thank me later lol
Use a weed wicking wand with roundup in it. They are awesome!
I've always put on knee pads and painted the Spectracide on to the dallisgrass with a small art brush or used an eye dropper glass tube to drip it on. Takes some time but it works.
I did the same with a Qtip
Thanks BYD! I needed this video! My neighbors have a ton of dallisgrass that's starting to creep into my lawn now. Now I know how to attack and get rid of it for everyone's sake
I did exactly what you said not to do and spots in my yard were ruined. No grass growth so I know you are right when you say only spot spray.
Thanks for the vid Dog!! At least with bermuda you have options. I'm done and sick and tired of dallisgrass taking over my tttf. I was thick full just gorgeous. Mowing 4.5" tall and that $ob has come back again. With over 20k sqft, pylex gets way too expensive and nevermind that fescue won't heal itself, yard looks like an Iraqi mine field when I'm finished treating. I'm near knoxville, my front yard is massive and sloped and gets massive sun all day. I'm done with tttf and as soon as I can I'm doing a full reno and switching to yukon bermuda. Keep the faith BYD!!
I tried the glyphosate 41 in my backyard in the dead of winter, and yes ,it took care of all the weeds,but as he said, my bermudagrass was slow to recover during the spring, but it did recover.
Love your vids 👊🏼
Ha! I’m having a similar problem here in the Midwest.
My neighbor and I helped a recently divorced single mother and cut her overgrown front lawn as she did her thing. Unfortunately for us , “ no good deed comes unpunished”.
Now I have that dreaded weed, alpha grass Bermuda, popping up in my cool season lawn.
My annual routine now involves killing weed and replanting cool season grass.
It’s a struggle but awesome to have a GREEN lawn all Fall and Winter.
If I get tired of the battle I may join the inevitable flow and over seed with rye for a green lawn during the cool weather.
Good info BYD... Majority of my neighbors around me has this problem!!! Good thing I treat my lawn or I will be another yard casualty.
Better treat you nextdoor neighbors yard as well
Thanks for the video
You’re welcome Derwin 👍🏾
Watch this video for a detailed plan th-cam.com/video/5aL0TPRPrB8/w-d-xo.html
Great video BYD
👍🏾👍🏾
The MSMA is my favorite!
Hey Byd. I took a sponge mop soak in a pan with round up brush on top of Dallasgrass
Thank you!
You’re welcome
I went through this two years ago, I bought some st Augustine sod and it was loaded with Dallas grass. So I sprayed a generic glysophate, then tilled the soil and pulled it all up and put in all new soil and new sod. It was the only thing that worked in my st Augustine. It is all over my neighborhood and people just keep mowing and spreading it. Drives me crazy.
Take a wooden Dow or something that's long and wrap a sponge on the end and use tape to secure it. Give a little douse with a herbicide. I use spectracide crab grass killer. Its important to let the weeds get tall enough to be able to dab the leaves. Not out of control or anything. I cut my Bermuda at 1 inch in the summer so when I see the weeds coming, I might not mow when i would and let the grasses like out a bit. I actually just did this 4 days ago. I just checked it and then saw your video. All of the weeds are dead and tan. Within one day you will see the leaves turning purple that's how effective it is. Now you will need to refresh your sponge every so often and you will get some on your grass. I have zero kill off on the bermuda. Just dab on the leaves enough to push the weeds to the ground and go.
That’s a cool method but that Spectracide Crabgrass kill won’t won’t on Dallisgrass.
I don't know what I'm killing I just kill whatever I see. Maybe it will because you're using it concentrated from the bottle and it's distributed on all leaves?
So does the lesco crabgrass pre emergent work against dallisgrass?
If it's a small amount hand pulling is always easy and fast especially after a good rain. No chemicals needed and no damage.
True but even after a rain if you don’t get the entire roots it comes back worst.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral I try to do the weeding after a rain so when I pull the weed the root comes with it. If it's nut sedge I dig the little nut up with a pocket knife. Only for small amounts.
Pulling is not a good remedy for this weed
@@Cenlalowell 👍🏾👍🏾
Dismiss and revolver will get rid of it completely. But you better be ready to spend some money
My backyard has 1/4 of bahia grass the rest seems to be St Augustin. I always purchase the brand you displayed. Spectricide. Just looking for a pre emergent to slow the growth
Skeet ‘em good 🤣🤣🤣
Skeet skeet skeet
I screamed 😂😂😂😂
Man my back yard ( no sod) is littered with this stuff. I hate it!! I pulled out a crater size Dallasgass stalk.
I’d recommend you bag you lawn every time you mow it also.
That doesn't work BYD. I used it, and it had no effect on the dallisgrass in my yard. The roundup worked for my yard, and didn't damaged my yard.
Did you spray it one time or did you spray it once every month for 3 months with lawn is dormant and Apply pre emergent? It may not get it all but sure will get it under control. I did this exact thing in my lawn for a couple of seasons and you see my lawn. Spraying it once won’t get it all. Most people won’t follow the process or even yet watch this entire video 🤷🏾♂️ to truly understand how it should be done. I don’t think they stay to the end to click on the other link. Remember I’m 30 years into this, I’m not a rookie lol 😆
Love your channel. I have two acres of Bermuda grass. About 1/4 is saturated with Dallis grass. Should I just wait until the grass is dormant to use the product? Can you recommend any product that i can use now to prevent further spreading of the Dallis grass... I know that once i have the lawn mowed, the seed heads will spread. Thanks.
Wait until dormancy
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thank you.
Not cheap but MSMA 6 Plus is what you need to be using to kill this out of your grass. I keep a qt. spray bottle of mix on the ready and hit those areas when they pop up, haven't had any in my yard for a couple years now. I now treat the neighbors around me. Downside it only comes in a 2.5 gal jug and cost $130, but enough to last a lifetime.
Terrible advice. MSMA is a restricted use herbicide, not to be used in residential turf applications. It contains an arsenic component known to be toxic to humans and to contaminate water sources. Read the label before making dangerous recommendations.
MSMA is now banned for residential use due to it being an environmental and health hazard. The "A" at the end of MSMA stands for arsenic. 'Nuff said.
@@SkyKing171717 Good thing I have 2.5 Gal jug of the stuff.
BYD I have a 100sq ft area in my backyard that was completely taken over by dallis grass. I think the Bermuda roots were completely pushed out of this area. But I got it coming back strong around this area last season. I’m in north texas what do you suggest I do
You’ll have to deal with the Dallas grass in the off season
So apply the lesco 0-0-7 3 times during the fall? September? October? And November? Once a month. Thanks
No, apply Lesco once in fall and once in Spring. Treat Dallis grass those three times in fall.
What product do you recommend for a pre emergent for chamber bitter in Bermuda grass lawn ?? I am in Greenville South Carolina .
Tree the Lesco 007 pre emergent at HomeDepot, but if you have it in you lawn you’ll need a post emergent. I’d google best post emergent for Chamber bitter in BermudaGrass
New Subbie ❤❤❤
Hey bermuda brutha, got common bermuda poppin up in my newly established hybrid tiffgreen bermuda sod. IAlot of herbicides can't be used here in CA. What can I do?
There’s no good answer for that question. Unfortunately there’s no herbicide for that. I personally don’t know of a way to separate common mix in hybrid.
❤
Will the Lesco Crabgrass Pre-emergent, stop the germination of seeds from Dallisgrass?
It controls but won’t completely stop
BYD, what about Morning Dew, I know it's not rain, it is wet in the morning😅, Dallisgrass is really kicking my yards butt, that's the only thing I can't get rid of😭!
I’d do this when the lawn is completely Dry.
Hey BYD I got the Ike’s weed killer. Can I use that or use the stuff in this video?
I personally haven’t experimented with the Ike’s in this process.
I was out looking at my disasterous backyard. The spots that are saturated with dying and new sprouting crabgrass is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I was pulling it until I started watching you. I am looking at putting down the pre emergence and blanketing it with Quali-Pro Quinclorac 75 DF Oct 1. What do I do with all the dead stalks? Everything says to get that dug out but won't that effect the pre emergent? I'm thinking it's something I'm going to just have to live with until it snows and I can't see it. I mean it's a carpet of nasty weeds. Some look dead AF but if you pull one it is still green. I want to put the pre E down and spray it same day. My cats are going to have to be inside and it's going to be hell. The one corner that is very thin but ok, I have been pulling baby crabgrass all spring and summer. I haven't put anything there because the majority of the time the cats are laying in that corner. The squirrels hang out there too. I'm nervous about the chemicals and the cats but can't have a yard like this. I guess all I am asking is do I let the dead weeds just disintegrate over the winter. Thanks so much. You are on loop.
Use lawn mower with bagger 👍🏾
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral Thank you. I don't think I have grass. I think it is all weeds. I have been hand thatching for days. I need to break down and buy a thatching rake. You are so awesome and your home is gorgeous.
Yo BYD a bought the lesco 0-0-7 pre emergent. Didn't read everything carefully and put the entire bag at maximum rate over my 9000 sqft lawn. Will it damage it??
Not at all on Established lawns. Will have some affects on new sod though. But nothing to worry about on your BermudaGrass.
BYD how often should you apply pre-emergents to you Bermuda grass?
At least twice Fall and Early Spring but can be applied 3-4 times if you are doing Split Apps.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thanks BYD
How long do you have to wait before cutting?
Wait a week but cut with bagger on mower.
Does the pre-emergent affect bermuda overseeding in the spring?
It’s recommended 12 weeks in between pre emergent before you over seed.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral Thanks 😄
BYD,. Is it true that a lawn care company mowers can spread weeds from one yard to another?
Yes. Seeds will fall from the deck if it was stuck on it from previous lawn
Yes this is true 👍🏾
What about Manuscript? Have you tried that…
No haven’t tried that.
Bermuda grass is invading my st augustin lawn. So its only right that dalas grass is invading it. 😈
It definitely hurts the soil!
👍🏾👍🏾
I know how to get rid of it but it's not cheap.
Blanket spray my Yard every year. You dont know about Bermuda 😂
