What is this grass growing in my Bermuda and how can I kill it. Is it crab grass?

MSMA

MSMA

I saw MSM at the co op but wasn't sure if it's the same thing as MSMA honestly. I thought MSMA was off the market now.

Is it clumpy like all of the little vines grow into one clump of roots you can pull out by hand? If so I hate that shiz. You should be able to pull up the roots as they don't go very deep. Not sure how to prevent it other than calling Bigwater's buddy who sprays yards. He knocked out everything in our yard in one spray and we haven't had any weeds come back since. That was three months ago.

mine is weed free except for this shiz... it started popping up like crazy a few weeks ago and I can't/ am too lazy to pull it all by hand.

hard to tell on my phone....maybe dallas grass, but hit it with MSMA.
there was talk of removing from the market, but seems like it was extended.
I have enough to last a lifetime if you need a few ounces.

some kind of broad leaf weed. got to get on it early and kill it. hard to just pull it up because it just breaks and leaves the roots. got to dig it up if established.

If it doesn't have any purple tint where the leaf meets the stem it is torpedo. If it has purple tint then you can follow suggestion above as it is crab grass. If it is torpedo you will need to do two applications of Drive. You can spot spray and don't have to do blanket treatment.

The stuff I have pulled up has Purple where it meets the leaves. I'll take a better pic when i get home.

MSMA

Did it say MSM 60DF Turf herbicide or something similar? If so, that is metsulfuron. You can spray that on bermuda to take out just about any broadleaf weed there is. It's also good for killing woody brush and vines. Not good for weedy grass control though.

Use of MSMA has only been continued for golf courses, sod farms, and highway rights-of-way with restrictions applying. Existing stocks of MSMA can be used for homelawns until depleted, but no further sales and distribution of MSMA should be allowed for residential lawns and all other discontinued purposes.
