[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1420929, member: 18945"] Looks like crushed limestone Cross. I have the same thing happening in the iron ore parking area in front of my house. Yard is bahia, but bermuda is coming up and spreading only in the drive. I have to assume it is common bermuda. All bermudas are pretty difficult to get established compared to other forages. I figure the reason it comes up there and hardly anywhere else, is the rock keeps the soil underneath damper than anywhere else and any seed blown or dropped by birds somehow germinates and survives long enough to root. It may also be that the iron ore and in your case--the limestone is helping to improve the pH to the point that bermuda likes. May be the same thing happening on your rock road. I spray mine too, with a generic version of Groundclear. Gly + Imaz. Got to saturate it pretty good tho, for the imaz to have ground activity for any length of time. Glyphosate alone will only kill what you see above the surface and won't stop anything that germinates after application of the gly--but I'm sure you know the chemical properties already since you work in the farm supply sector.
