Just finished building my forever home and next spring I will be doing my landscaping. Had haul on dirt for pad and lots of weeds are growing mixed in with some Bermuda. Would like to get a head start now so it’s not as bad next year. Can only get Bermuda in front and sides cause backyard is full of 100 year old live oaks a shade out the arse.

I wouldn’t be scared to spray some. I sprayed it when it was 98 two weeks ago and it bounced back.

Hopefully you meant msm. Msma is for professional applicators only, I think.
And big difference in what they treat.

I sprayed two weeks ago and its bounced back. May need to water a bit if you aren't getting any rain.

What ratio are y’all using for 1 gallon spot spraying? I did 1/8 tsp:gallon for some Bahia a couple or 3 weeks ago and it hasn’t even browned up yet.

One ounce per gallon??? You sure about that? I’ve seen 0.1oz:4gal as the recommended ratio…

Don’t confuse MSM Turf with MSMA.

The discussion is around MSMA. 1 oz/gal or per ksqft is the recommended rate for MSMA.

Same as above, 1oz/1,000 sqft. I have a 30 gallon sprayer that covers my entire 24K yard.

Sprayed MSMA last week. You can use it year round. Especially in the late fall and winter when Bermuda is dormant.
