[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 416364, member: 3398"] You dont want to use round up on green or growing bermuda grass. It will kill it almost out if you use it while it is in that stage. But you can use MSMA to get rid of the crab & dallas grasses. Alot of people who grow bermuda grass for horse hay arround here. Will spray their hay meadows with round up right before it starts to geen up in late Spring. The bermuda is still dormant at that time of the year and alot of other grasses have already greened up and started growing like crab & dallas grass. Then two or three weeks later depending on how well everything is growing. They will spary again with 2-4d or grazon to get rid of the broad leafs like sour dock, butter cups the weedy type plants. Then you pretty well have your meadow narrowed down to bermuda grass and heartier type grass like crab grass, dallas grass, nut grass etc...., And you then use MSMA which is mostly used for lawns to clean them up and make more of a turff like appearance and in turn a nicer looking lawn. But again alot of people who produce top quality horse grass here are shooting for pure bermuda. And using the MSMA will get the heartier grasses dallas, crab grass etc....., But unless you are able to irrigate your hay meadow or get alot of rain fall. You might be dissipointed with the results. Because it will take along time for the bermuda to cover with out much moisture and if you kill everything off except for the bermuda. You might have a barren looking hay feild and lose out on alot of good grass like dallas and crab grass. Good luck [/QUOTE]
