I first discovered your channel years ago, looking for a solution for Dallisgrass. I am in Atlanta area, and mine survived a lawn service, and after I fired them, Round up. I am going to try again. Not sure I am going to invest in the Tribute, might maybe. Love your channel!
Depending on how much Dallisgrass you have, in my opinion, it’s easier to cut it out with a cordless reciprocating saw (with a flexible 12” cutting blade) than digging it out with a shovel. It’s a surgical extraction and kind of fun. I now look forward to finding it (ha!). I can cut out 20 or so clumps of Dallisgrass (and its rootball) in about 30 to 40 minutes. Once I pull out the weedplug, I scrape the dirt off the weed and refill the hole.
@@a_blind_sniper If you have well defined Dallisgrass weed shapes, surrounded by good lawn grass, an inexpensive Chinese reciprocating saw (from Amazon) is hard to beat as an extraction device. If you have areas where the Dallisgrass has totally taken over, MSMA will kill it, so that you can reseed/sod in the same season, where as glyphosate (Round-Up) will sterilize the soil for a year (or longer). Good luck
I used a mix of mesotrione (Tenacity) and a weak mixture of glyphosate and it seems to have worked without totally killing my KBG/rye. With a little overseeding my lawn is nearly Dallisgrass free.
We live in the southern Texas at the Rio Grande Valley. I applied the Celsious but my problem was that I started the application late fall and into the beginning of summer. It did nothing. I thought was feeding it instead. Then I waited for fall and it’s turning purple on some leaves. I’m going to wait to winter and see what happens. Thanks for the video.
I’ve got a small backyard with Bermuda…and LOTS of dallisgrass. Was going to wait til Bermuda is dormant and then use Roundup. But I overseed with rye mid fall and it stays green until mid May. Don’t think the rye will come in if I use the roundup…correct? Live in north Texas. Thoughts?
I'm in Maryland. I have tall fescue and about half my lawn is dallisgrass. Everything I've tried also kills the good turf. In addition, both my neighbors and my entire side of the street is infested with dallis grass. I've considered going with wiping out the whole yard and reseeding, but there seems no point unless I can convince all my neighbors to do the same.
My home and yard is in the middle of pasture land in the Texas panhandle. The pasture is predominantly blue grass and buffalo. The cattle like it. My lawn is predominantly bermuda grass with some patches of buffalo. I have an infestation of windmill grass. Is there a herbicide I can use effectively on the windmill grass while doing minimal harm to the bermuda and buffalo?
Does Dallisgrass also spread by seed? If so wouldn’t it mark sense to also us a pre-emergent and when would be the best time. Thanks for a very solid informational video and not sketchy like some TH-camrs.
jason- what is your opinion about torching them? harbor freight has a mobile torch tool ($20-$40), you hook up a propane tank to it, walk around torching your weeds and grass in sidewalk/driveway cracks and your yard, only thing is it will leave a spot, but bermuda will take over that spot in time.
Jason have you or someone you know tried Syngenta Manuscript? It's labeled for Control of Dalisgrass in most warm grasses and they recently added Centipede and some cool turfs too. But geesh you gotta buy 3 gallons at $300ea.
CURIOUS to know how to get rid of ORCHARD GRASS and my picture this app keeps identifying another weird grassy weed as ST AUGUSTINE GRASS but im up here in NJ ... not sure if its the correct identification ... thanks
Jayson, I have a green out back with golf flag. So I used msma to wipe out a huge dallis grass infestation. I say 95% gone and easy to find the 6 or 8 clumps left in 24,000 feet. Could I hit it in SC with it again if I have a warm day? Maybe raise the rate to spot treat? Waiting for dormancy to glyphosate? To finish off!
I don't think msma would do so good this time of year even on a warmer day. We're just six or eight clumps you could even use a shovel. But for a chemical I would probably go with glyphosate or the mixture I used in the video
@@lawncarelife they are big nasty ones. 3 foot wide and up through the Bermuda. I will glyphosate them with a small paint roller. Was thinking without the heat the msma wouldn’t work! Thanks enjoy your content
Jayson, I must have missed my pre emergent by just days. Prodiamide working great, except in the shady areas that cooled down before the rest! Lesson learned soil temp in the shady spots what you better watch out for timing application. Post in shady spot open yard nothing, doing another app soon!
@@underdogspraying yes, but don't defend it. It's not labeled for a reason and the average person would not know how to use it properly. Don't be a neo hippy.
Not really. It will likely damage the grass and would be off label. That's tough to get rid of in a centipede lawn. Celsius and certainty combined is about the best I know of
I had a bunch of Dallisgrass, so I took my cordless reciprocating saw (with a 12" flex blade) and began cutting it out, one clump at a time. Once I cut a circle around the plant and lifted the weed/dirtball out of the ground, I scraped the dirt off the weed's roots, threw the weed in garbage and put dirt back in the hole (about 90 seconds per weed). I've got about 5 hours invested in eliminating the Dallisgrass and the problem is now totally gone.
I'm in Ontario Canada. I'll never complain about " an expensive" weed killer. We cant be trusted with most of the products available to the US. I'm dealing with a crazy outbreak of crab grass( I thought - it might be dallisgrass technically- this stuff has purple ends and looks suspiciously like it ) Oh wait $400? for 6 oz??? that's $560 Canadian $.....no idea how any crop science company can justify that crazy ass cost. That's nuts. Maybe I'll just glyphosate it.
That's a pretty dog! 😃 When I 1st moved here, I spent 2 years digging out dallisgrass. Thanks for these. They are helpful!
Thank you. That's my 2nd best dog

Glad some of the videos have been helpful. I appreciate you watching. Glyphosate can work... it just might take multiple applications

thats a great idea, might give that a shot! MSMA gives me the heebie-jeebies with its arsenic so I want to try applying some sweat first

I’m gonna try this. I have a literal Dallas grass infestation in my back yard.. 12 or 14 bunched up together

You sound like you own the place, great un-reated, un-edited, honest, video! thanks!
Why just info for Bermuda? How about fescue and KY bluegrass?!

How do you kill windmill grass? I have both in my lawn, bermuda, and they are tough!
Sorry, I'm not familiar with that weed. I'm not sure we have that in my area
@@lawncarelife darn that’s okay! Thanks anyways!
If it’s Bermuda the key to the equation is Metribuzin (Sencor) combined with Formasulfuron (tribute total or revolver)
What are my options for st Augustine grass?
Get a small paint brush or q-tip and dab the tips of the dallis grass .
@@Bsting2843Dab it with what?
Tribute Total is $463 for 6 oz! i ain't got that!!! I GOTS TO EAT!
no one cares
Do you do the Calera area? I need my dallisgrass gone
Any thoughts on Q4 Plus? Has a broad portfolio of what it kills.

Most of my grass is tall fescue with a bunch of RYE and KBG....
I need to kill dallisgrass and bermuda in my St. Agustine lawn.... what do you recommend?
Will this work with goose grass

MSMA...ONCE AND DONE!!!!!! SEE YA D GRASS
How to kill Dallis grass on warm weather lawn st agustine grass and Bermuda, will it damage lawn on hot climate

BIG PUPPY!!! ❤
Why not use Pylex?
Dismiss South and Tribute will do it in one app.
Thank you for the tip
I hate that grass!!!! I combined all the image products (purple,grey, and red bottles) in a 2 gallon sprayer and it seems to be working.
What's your company? I'm in Gadsden.
MSMA if improperly used will go straight into the groundwater.
Anything used improperly will go into the ground water
@@underdogspraying yes, but don't defend it. It's not labeled for a reason and the average person would not know how to use it properly. Don't be a neo hippy.

@GardenerEarthGuy if he was defending it, how would that make him a neo hippy. He'd be the opposite.

Would you recommend the glyphosate spot spray for centipede lawn?
Not really. It will likely damage the grass and would be off label. That's tough to get rid of in a centipede lawn. Celsius and certainty combined is about the best I know of

That is an excellent idea!@@TheAmazingRandy
MSMA works fairly well.
You keep talking about pre-emergent but never seen a weed product labeled that, at Lowe’s or HD.
The most common pre-emergent used in January/February/March for your spring/summer annual weeds is prodiamine. That's what you need to look for.
Yes... Prodiamine WDG. Excellent product.

Yup yup
What is MSMA? thanks
Spot treat with glyphosate weed and grass killer
It works, ugly dry spot left. I don’t mind because the grass will grow back. I have Bermuda.
