Anything?? Anything? I too need the same. Help?

 

Dig it out or use Roundup, then seed with compost.

Not very "selective"!

 

There are no other choices I am aware of.

Since then, Topramezone(Pylex) has been labeled as well. I say, if your only other option is RoundUp, it is worth trying the Tenacity + Turflon or Pylex + Turflon. Of course, if you are in a warm season area, there are a lot of triazine and sulfonylurea herbicides labeled for turf.

 

Why can't you use generic 2,4-d? I don't care about the label, it kills damn near everything but grass. Kinda how if Glypho listed everything it kills in the indicated uses section, the manual would be 300+ pages.

Orchard grass is a grass. If that statement were true I would never have to buy Solitaire. If you don't want to spot spray roundup, the next best thing would be to wipe the roundup on the plant using a cotton glove over your chemical glove, but that would not be doable if you have a lot of area to cover. It has worked for me if you have some clumps coming up here and there, it always grows faster and taller than the other grass so you can let it grow up a little and get it without getting any on the turf.

 

The C & C of Honolulu has rigged up a tow behind wiper system to apply RoundUp to grassy weeds infesting fine turf areas. It drags a weed wiping curtain fed by a 12V pump a few inches above the grass. Tall grassy weeds are the target. It works pretty well provided the turf is not undulating or sloped.

 

I had a little problem with orchard grass in a handful of lawns this past spring. I tried all of the sulfonylureas and even tried MSMA/Sencor. Nothing killed it. I made note of which accounts and they will be sprayed with a blanket application of Glyphosate with the Spring pre-emergent while the Bermuda is still dormant.
There are no selective herbicides that work that I am aware of...

 

I'm thinking the plan in the spring is to round-up the patches.... Allow to die-out... Then cut-out and replace with sod.

 

what type of grass is your desired lawn???

 

Like any home-owner with a lawn as a hobby driven by a case of OCD! :laugh:

I believe there is always room for improvement... As a result my hopes are that I also stay ahead of (new) problems.

That said... For this exercise to address a consistent color with a good/correct blend of turf.

just asking
