Suppressing Bermuda

Post by emtravelers » May 29th, 2018, 5:55 pm

So I've looked up some instructions on suppressing Bermuda. I recently replugged Zoysia into certain spots in the lawn and have some Bermuda patches. I thought it might be easier to nail these down while they are still smallish.

The application I keep seeing is Acclaim mixed with Turflon Ester. Turflon Ester has Triclopyr in it.

So my question is do I need to worry about handling concentrations of Triclopyr? I already applied Ortho Clover Chickweed Oxalis which also has Tripoclyr. I applied the CCO once as a broadcast application, and the second time as a targeted spray. Apparently the Acclaim is much more effective when tank mixed with Turflon.

How long ago was the last Triclopyr application?

Then you can use Triclopyr again now

Thanks Andy.

So the Acclaim and Turflon Ester is on the way. Would someone please check my math.

The turf article I read suggested 28 fluid ounces of each per acre. The acclaim bottle suggests 20 fluid ounces per acre at .46 ounces / gallon for 1000 square feet. I was leaning more on the conservative side since I’m getting my spray patterns down. Additionally I’ll be using Surfactant and blue marker dye.

Thanks.
