Are the areas where grass is lower and discolored the result of spot spraying?

Used Image Kills Nutsedge for sedges and crabgrass. Just so happens, those areas now look sub par. Please look just in front of the group of wildflowers by the fence.
Anything I can do or just wait it out with normal fert, mow, and water maintenance?

Looks like slight herbicide injury. You have bermuda so water, mow, fert and you’ll be fine. Celsius will stunt the shite out of St Aug so it’s very common.

I'm so glad you posted this. I have a serious invasion of nutsedge on the east side of my front yard. I can get away with spot spraying the other areas of my lawn but I will have to blanket spray that east side. I've been trying to find some information on what to expect the effects of sedgehammer on my new bermuda might be like and this is the best look I've seen so far. Hope yours bounces back quickly.
I'm distraught that I'm going to have to do this to bermuda I just seeded.

Straight from the label:
quote:
This product can be used on seeded, sodded, or sprigged turfgrass that is well established. Allow the turf to develop a good root
system and uniform stand before application
Well established usually means at least one year.

quote:I knew I had to wait until the grass was well established. I had no idea it would be a year. I swear I had seen a Sedgehammer label posted somewhere that said "can be applied 4 weeks after seeding" which I though seemed real soon. Just pulled up the actual label and it's just like you said..."This product may be used on seeded, sodded, or sprigged turfgrass that is well established".
Well established usually means at least one year.
Crap.

Maybe Ronk will chime in with advice and explain exactly what "well established" means.

I had a major sedge issue in an area of my freshly seeded bermuda area. about two weeks after the bermuda started coming up I blanket sprayed the area the the sedge was in with Sedgehammer. It's seemed to handle it pretty well. Sedge is dying off and as long as I'm keeping the area watered and cut every couple of days the bermuda seems fine.

That’s interesting! I was considering doing a 4’x4’ test patch in an out-of-the-way area to see for myself. I’ll post the process and results.
Thanks for the input, everyone!

Well established has a few meanings. For the most part well established means full, thick, healthy, good color, growing at the same rate as other lawns, well fed, well watered, no fungus, no stress. That lawn could have spot treatment of herbicide.
Well established for pre em means give that shite some time and don’t rush.
