I've heard that name before. Where can that be bought? Feed store? Is it liquid or dry?

Atrazine can be bought at Lowes, brand name Image. It is a liquid and is also in Scotts Weed N Feed. But you can also mix the liquid and spray on additionally if you want. Will not kill your grass. I use Scotts Weed N Feed in my yard, front all St Aug, back mix of St Aug & bermuda. Use before a rain or use a sprinkler. If put to strong and isn't rained on, it could burn your grass ( I know )hehe. But I do put more than called for. Now is the time to put it, especially since its suppose to rain this weekend. Already put mine. Results - you will see the weeds dying out in about a 2 week period.

Danny, how long after putting down the weed and feed can you come back and spray with the atrazine?

The atrazine will not hurt your grass at all, it is made strictly to kill weeds. So you could spray it right after putting weed/feed

Also, it will work better to spray it when there is no rain coming. Google atrazinefacts.com. It recommends not using on bermuda, but I havent had any problem. I guess it depends on your formula and how much you spray.

I went to lowes in Abbeville and I'm sure some of the others have it. It's a southern weed and feed with bug killer regular $36 a bag I got for $15 on clearance and they had a pallet and a half left. If you're going that direction it's a pretty good deal.

How about dollar weed. Never used to have this problem but has been taking over for the last few years. Tried the 2-4D but was only mildly effective. Any other suggestions??

Mix a detergent like dish washing liquid with it and use hot water.

Thanks


Forgot to update.....

I killed the entire lawn with Roundup (like I said I didn't want to do), came through with a power take after 2 weeks of die off and bagged allllllll the dead grass. Dropped the rake down low low and let it eat, this ripped up the dead stuff and scratched the soil good.

After that I came through with a core aerator, then re-seeded with centipede. Watered daily until and now have good germination. I have a ton of Dallis grass, goose grass and crab grass back now, but the centipede is creeping in. I'll hit it with a post emergent killer, then keep on too if it with fall and spring pre-emergent.

Should have some serious turf next year...
