Since we have another week of near 80 degree temps, is it safe to spot treat (with roundup) those pesky winter weeds in bermuda, st augustine and centipede lawns? I'm assuming lawn grass is a dormant as it going to get?
I guess the 'science' says it should work because the grass isn't technically absorbing things through the leaves at the moment, but it's just never seemed like a good thing to do, in my mind.
No doubt. And hey man, go to town with the Round Up if you want. It's just one of those "I wouldn't do that **** if I were you" sort of things in my mind.^^^ Science Denier**
You seriously need to lighten up. You're going to have yourself a heart attack.Just because it's "in your mind" makes it neither true nor good advice.
Calling someone a ***** whilst saying this.The only possible way he can truly 17 up his yard in this case, is to use a damn pesticide on it.

Oddly enough, I started a new career this year in crop protection. PowerMax III (glyphosate) is one of our products....Even so, I still felt the need to ask our chemical specialist after reading this thread...as long as there is no green tissue in your bermuda, you will be fine....however, to be safe, wait until the next frost since these temps are so crazy. I am also in the same boat.
There are two things that could survive a nuclear blast, cockroaches and bermuda grass.
Sort Of OT..
We are very vulnerable for winter kill just like in 1996 in our Bermuda turf grass with these warm winter temperatures. Winter is coming
I’m a little further south than some on this thread and I’m at the point where I’m going to spray MSMA this week. I have to get the Christmas decorations up to cut the front yard. It’s been a great Indian Summer.Oddly enough, I started a new career this year in crop protection.

Shocking, I tell ya. But DCD and T-town say, "gOaTz".I sprayed roundup on my yard one year when I thought that it was dormant but evidently it had green sprigs down low that I couldn’t see. I had a brown yard until the first of July but the Bermuda came back.
And right now I I have a lot green in my yard especially against the house and driveway.
I wouldn't do that. I know people that say it's OK, and I guess the 'science' says it should work because the grass isn't technically absorbing things through the leaves at the moment, but it's just never seemed like a good thing to do, in my mind. If it gets bad enough, I'd just go out there and mow it to keep them under control.
