Just moved into a new home. My previous yards have all been Bermuda and I would spray with MSMA, this one is all St. Augustine. It has weeds all throughout it. What can I spray it with? Anything directed towards "southern" lawns should be ok?

Yeah... I'm not stupid. I've dealt with Bermuda a lot. I know what kills broadleaf grasses.

Dollar weeds, clover, dandelions are the main ones.

Actually 24D would work on two of those. I haven't found it to be effective on clover though.


If the dollar weed is dichondra, I use Trimec Southern but I have bermuda. in fact, I sprayed some today.

Atrazine or 24d. 24d will not kill clover at normal rate. Only stunt but it will clean other stuff up.

Trimec Southern is a pretty good recommendation.

And 2,4-D is the main ingredient

Did you mean MSMA? I use it but I have bermuda. That stuff will kill St Augustine quicker than shite so don't use it on your St Aug, unless you want to kill it.

I'll tell you what else smokes St Aug: Command. A big spray rig (self propelled for rice) passed in front of the house and must have been dripping because we got some rhythmic nuke spots in the yard

No, MSMT is different from MSMA.

I've used it in the past for Buttonweed. I get it from Regal Chemical under the brand name "Canoe". Same AI.
