Killing Dallis grass ?????

goats will do it, given time.

I bought some MSMA before it went off the market. I'm waiting for nightime temps to stay up before I give it a heavy dose. A month after that I'm gonna hit it again, then load the yard up with corn glutten meal this fall, and again next spring before green up. My dad is the yard guru and he says the corn glutten meal will kill the crabgrass/dallisgrass seeds before they sprout AND fertilize the yard.

keep your loved ones and pets away from it for several weeks, and maybe months. there's a reason it is no longer allowed. if you can afford the gluten meal, it works. dallis grass is a tough one due to the tubers in which it stores energy to survive the worst droughts. chopping it out repeatedly, while labor intensive will eventually use up that energy store, and it will die out.

Not sure what grass oe weed is. I had a grass that is full of small stickers that took over during the drought. I applied weed be gone a few weeks ago and noticed the weed turning brown and dying this week. At first I didn't think it was going to work, but it is. The augustine grass is sparse but still green.

I've used roundup in a small spay bottle. I put out late in the evening if there's no wind and spray a small amount in the center of the weed. It may take two or three treatments to get them all. Once they're dead you can dig or pull out the roots then water the lawn really good and the grass will fill in the holes.

Good luck, it's a bit of work but will look nice when completed.

if using roundup, be sure and read the label where it warns it may kill shrubs and trees too. it is not as they advertise. it is persistent and has been found downstream weeks and months later.
