re: Spring Weed Guide For Lawns

I have similartype grass as in pic and repeated treatments of MSMA have only turned it slight yellow
I use 3oz per gallon solution
Can I use more?
I was spraying weekly and it started yellowing my Bermuda so I stopped
I know the Bermuda will b fine but I'm thinking I'm done till next spring or can I fight it this fall

Sure does look like doveweed....I'll have to shoot a line to Dr Strahan tomorrow and ask about control options, if MSMA hasn't produced results

Hard to say if you were using enough MSMA, because 3oz per gallon could be way different according to who's spraying. Really need to calibrate the sprayer to know how much product you are putting down per area. My backpack sprayer calibrated for me is at 850 sq ft per gallon...usually MSMA can take out any grassy weed in Bermuda, but if you have access to Revolver I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to try. Revolver is listed for doveweed, which looks similar to that picture. Also, Revolver is compatible for tank mixtures with MSMA, so that 1,2 punch may be what it takes to kill it.

Thanks
This board is awesome

We've got 5 Hibiscus Plants in our front flowerbed. One went from healthy as a horse to really, really doing poorly the past two weeks.

I finally took a few pictures this morning. Look at this fuzz stuff on the flower and the leaves. I'm guessing this is some type of fungus?

What is it?
Where did it come from?
How can I treat the plant and get it back healthy?
How can I prevent whatever this is moving forward?

Maybe someone else can chime in and help out....my certification is in Ornamental and Turf, but I only use the turf portion of that

I'm next to useless on ornamentals and flowerbeds

Check underside of the leaves for whiteflies. Looks similar to the webs they create.

Bootlegger

Can I mix msma and drive xlr8 on bermuda lawn? Trying to kill/control torpedo grass

The hibiscus has mealybugs. You can remove them by hand/stream of water, insecticidal soap or a insecticide. I generally use a contact insectide instead of a systemic insectide to keep from killing other beneficial insects long term. Mealybugs usually attack plants that are stressed so make sure the hibiscus is being watered properly, getting the right sunlight, not planted too deep etc....

Managed to find a small patch of it on one of the fields here. This is it 4 days after an MSMA & Certainty application. Looks like a second round should finish it off. I will keep you posted.
