Any suggestions? Should I treat when bahiagrass is tall (damn near always) or does it matter?



Spray when tall. Give it a couple of days, mow, and keep it mown short. Should start dying out in two weeks.

pretty much.

the actual area that the bahia is in didn't change but the thickness decreased by half. one more good treatment should do it hopefully.

Bahia is a son of a bitch this year. We have fought it since mid May.

Still have not sprayed again and the Bahia continues to disappear. It is making the St. Augustine kinda brown though. Not dead though.

I will have to re spray but should I put out some ironite or something first to green up the grass?

I was coming to check with ya to see what your plan of action was once this is all dead. I haven't sprayed again either and that whole area is pretty much brown now. It just took longer than expected to die.

I'm debating on throwing some seed out over the dead area. I'm not sure how well that'll go with it being 90-100 degrees outside.

Now is the time to put our pre emergence with fertilizer... That should help green it up, and hopefully cause the bermuda to start growing in.
