Our number one choice for a herbicide that kills all types of weeds but won't harm Bermuda grass is Ortho WeedClear. Ortho WeedClear contains 3 post-emergent herbicides as active ingredients.
Triclopyr (Weed-B-Gon and Turflon) is a selective herbicide that kills broadleaf plants, but will suppress bermudagrass in cool season turfgrasses.
It is safe for pets and humans to reenter the space once the herbicide has thoroughly dried.
Kill Weeds with a Bermuda-Safe Herbicide
Bermuda grass is sensitive to many weed killers, including common selective broadleaf herbicides such as 2,4-D, mecoprop, and dicamba.
The best fertilizer for Bermuda grass will have an N-P-K ratio that's high in nitrogen, contains little or no phosphorus, and may include a small amount of potassium. For example, an NPK ratio of 16-0-8 contains 16 percent nitrogen, no phosphorus, and 8 percent potassium. This is a great ratio for Bermuda grass.
Bensulide or oxadiazon are recommended because they are safer than other preemergence herbicides on ultradwarf bermudagrass. TranXit (rimsulfuron) or Revolver (foramsulfuron) can be used for postemergence annual bluegrass control later in the winter or early spring.
Key Features. Ortho WeedClear Lawn Weed Killer Ready-to-Spray's fast-acting, ready to- use formula is rainproof in just one hour. Plus, you can see results in just one application. It kills over 200 weeds down to the roots, including dandelion, chickweed, clover, crabgrass, and foxtail.
Spraying Bermuda grass when dormant won't kill it so don't spray in winter, early spring or late summer. Wait until the grass is green and actively growing in early or mid-summer, then spray. One application should kill almost all of it.
Roundup For Lawns1 is a formula that kills weeds, not the lawn! It controls over 250 common lawn weeds, roots and all, and is especially effective on hard-to-kill weeds such as crabgrass, dandelion, clover and yellow nutsedge.
When can I seed after using Ortho Weedclear?
For the best results, apply when weeds are small and actively growing in the spring or fall, and when daytime temperatures are between 45 and 90 degrees. Following application, bare spots may be seeded after 4 weeks.
Very effective spot treatment for weeds
With St Augustine grass, it is less stressful to the lawn to spray the Ortho product only when and where you need it. Very effect on all types of weeds that we deal with in North Florida. It is also very safe with St Augustine grass.
Ortho Ground Clear does have glyphosate. A one-gallon bottle of Ortho Ground Clear contains 5% of the chemical. This is a key active ingredient in this weed killer that allows it to perform efficiently. However, it can also be harmful to the user, other plants, and the environment.
Dandelions, henbit, and other broadleaf weeds can quickly spread and take over a Bermuda grass lawn. One of the quickest and most effective ways to stop them is by applying a weed-killing product such as Southern Ag Amine, which contains 2,4-D, the abbreviation for 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the popular herbicide product Roundup Pro and certain similar product, can sometimes be used over completely dormant bermudagrass for winter-annual weedy grass control.
The best way to make Bermuda grass thicker is to feed the lawn with slow-release nitrogen fertilizer such as Milorganite, then water it once per week to improve its growth rate. Also, mowing slightly lower will improve lateral growth and make the lawn thicker and fuller.
About 4 weeks after applying the Starter Food, feed your bermuda grass lawn with Scotts® Turf Builder® Southern Lawn Food. Be sure to follow the directions on the label. Continue to fertilize every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season, stopping when the grass naturally slows its growth in early fall.
